Every citation gets an explicit verification state
Citation Intelligence extracts every legal citation from a document, normalizes it, resolves it, and assigns one of five explicit verification states with the basis explained.
One fabricated citation can undo an otherwise strong brief
AI-assisted drafting has made phantom authority a professional hazard. Spot-checking citations by hand is slow, and a binary 'looks right' check misses partially-supported propositions.
Five states, never a binary
Citation Intelligence extracts and normalizes every citation in a document, then assigns one of five explicit states: Verified, Partially Verified, Unresolved, Unsupported, or User Supplied — each with a note explaining the basis for the assessment.
Hallucinated authority is flagged, not buried. The output is a worklist: you see exactly which cites are solid and which need your eyes.
Working with Citation Intelligence
- 1Submit the document
Run citation analysis on a draft, brief, or memo.
- 2Extraction & normalization
Every legal citation is found and normalized for resolution.
- 3Resolution & states
Each citation receives one of five explicit verification states with a stated basis.
- 4Work the list
Fix flagged citations; re-run until the report is clean.
Why Citation Intelligence is different in JuriSeek
Explicit, explained states
No vague confidence scores — each state says what it means and why it was assigned.
Fabrication surfaced early
Unsupported citations are flagged in the draft, not in front of the court.
Integrated with drafting
The Brief Builder runs this check automatically; standalone documents can be checked too.
Capabilities and limitations
What this feature does — and what it deliberately does not claim to do.
- Citation extraction and normalization from documents
- Five explicit verification states: Verified, Partially Verified, Unresolved, Unsupported, User Supplied
- Per-citation notes explaining the basis
- Automatic validation inside the Brief Builder pipeline
- Verification reflects the sources available to the workspace at check time — a Verified state is not a guarantee of subsequent history (e.g., later appeal or reversal).
- Always review flagged and Unresolved citations before relying on them.
- JuriSeek does not automatically verify all cited authorities in the background; verification runs when you invoke it.
