This page lists three turns, the messages you send to the AI one after another in the same chat, and then a check of the answer. Keep it open next to your chat. Each turn shows the next thing to paste, with the values you entered already filled in. Nothing is sent from this page, and your conversation stays in the AI tool you are using.
Paste the full brief including footnotes. Cites in footnotes are where errors hide.
Which manual governs. Short-form and id. rules differ between editions.
The court, plus any local rule on reporters, parallel cites, or citation format.
Sets the suspicion level. An AI-assisted draft gets every case cite treated as unverified.
Your firm's overrides on short cites, supra, string cites, and signals.
Watch for these throughout
The model can hallucinate a citation while auditing citations. Nothing in this output is verification. Every case still has to be pulled in Westlaw, Lexis, or an official reporter before filing.
The model cannot Shepardize or KeyCite. A subsequent-history flag identifies a case worth checking; it says nothing about whether the case is still good law.
State courts often require their own manual and parallel citations. Correct Bluebook form can be a local-rule violation in California and elsewhere.
Short-form, id., and supra rules changed between Bluebook editions. Confirm which edition your court and your firm expect before accepting a form correction.
Courts have sanctioned lawyers and referred them for discipline over fabricated citations. A [verify] flag is an assignment, not a disclaimer that transfers the risk.
