# Update a legal request by requester

Update the variables in the form fields and submit the legal request by the requester once the request is sent back by the fulfiller.

## Before you begin

Ensure that Employee Center portal is installed.

Role required: sn\_lg\_ops.legal\_user

## About this task

After the legal request is transferred and the fulfiller sends the request back to the requester, an email notification is sent to the requester. For more information on the transfer of a legal request, see [Transfer a legal request](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/employee-service-management/legal-request-management/transfer-existing-legal-request.md).

**Note:** If the legal request is created by a different user on behalf of the requester, both users receive the email notification and both can update the request.

## Procedure

1.  Select the **Review and submit** link in the email.

2.  On the My Tasks page in Employee Center, select the required request task.

3.  The requested task opens in Employee Center.

4.  Fill in the fields in the **Details** tab.

    The fields in the Details tab vary depending on the Practice area or Category of the request.

5.  Select **Submit**.


## Result

The legal request is updated with the new variable information.

A success confirmation message is displayed.
