AI Citation Checking

In an AI enabled world we offer a human-centred case verification service.

AI hallucinated cases can present in a variety of ways.  We can verify your AI generated case citations to ensure:

  • the case exists
  • the citation is correct
  • the facts are correct
  • the quotations are correct
  • the case hasn't been overruled
  • the case is the correct jurisdiction
  • the case isn't a known hallucinated case
  • the case supports the correct point of law

Send us any citations you would like verified and our team will check these against our legal databases and print collection to verify their existence and any details that require confirmation.

Copies of cases can also be supplied (see Document Delivery above).
