In a June 25 "Jurisprudence," Nicole Allan and Emily Bazelon incorrectly stated that the New Haven firefighters' union contributed money to the Ricci plaintiffs. The article also stated that black firefighters sued their union. Black firefighters tried to sue the union as a group, and when they were not granted standing to do so by the relevant Connecticut agency, fire Lt. Gary Tinney filed suit on his own.

In a June 25 "Technology" column, Farhad Manjoo originally misidentified a Twitter user as persianwiki. The correct username is persiankiwi.

In the June 23 "Politics," John Dickerson misspelled the name of the Huffington Post's Nico Pitney.

In the June 20 "Today's Papers," David Sessions misspelled Iranian supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's surname as "Khameini."

In a June 19 "Explainer," Adrian Chen wrote that the American Medical Association recently voted to recommend that hospitals ban doctors' white coats. The AMA voted to refer the resolution to a panel for further consideration.
