For Law Firms · Cite or Stay Silent

Every citation, checked before it’s filed.

Courts are sanctioning lawyers for cases that never existed. Cite Check reads every citation in a draft, finds each one in its source, confirms the quote is on the page, and holds the filing when something cannot be found.

Why It Matters

AI Made Drafting Fast, So Checking Matters More.

The tools that write a brief in minutes also invent cases that sound right. Courts have stopped accepting “the AI did it.” The duty to check every citation never changed; the number of citations to check did.

How It Works

From a Draft to a Clean Record.

  1. 01UploadA brief, a motion, a memo or a letter, in the format you draft in.
  2. 02FindEvery case, statute, rule and record cite in the document, and every quotation.
  3. 03SourceEach authority is found in its primary source, not in a summary of it.
  4. 04MatchThe cite matches the authority, and the quote appears at the pin cite.
  5. 05SinceLater history flagged for a lawyer to read: reversed, vacated, superseded, amended.
  6. 06Ready or holdA clean report, or the filing held with each problem marked in the draft.

The Rules It Runs By

Cite, or Stay Silent.

A checker that guesses is just another source of fake citations. This one is built to say “not found” out loud.

  1. I
    Silent beats wrong.

    If a source cannot be found, it says “not found,” never “probably fine.” An unfound citation holds the filing until a person resolves it.

  2. II
    Every check shows its source.

    Each green mark opens the authority it was checked against, at the page.

  3. III
    The lawyer still signs.

    The check prepares the lawyer to sign with confidence. It does not replace the duty to read what you cite.

  4. IV
    Measured in the open.

    Before launch we publish how it scores on test drafts it has never seen, seeded with real errors and invented cases.

  5. V
    Your drafts stay yours.

    Confidential, inside the firm’s workspace, never used to train anyone else’s model.

What It Checks

Everything a Judge Might Look Up.

Case citationsThe case exists, the reporter and page are right, and the court and year match.
Statutes and rulesThe section exists and says what the draft says it says, in the version in force.
QuotationsWord for word at the page cited, and flagged when the words appear somewhere else.
Pin citesThe point is on the page the draft points to.
Later historyReversals, vacaturs and amendments, flagged for a lawyer to judge.
Record citesExhibits and transcript pages from the firm’s own file, checked like any authority.

Part of the Firm

Drafted the Firm’s Way, and Checked Before It Leaves.

On Demojura, every draft already carries its sources. Cite Check is the last gate: nothing reaches a court until every authority in it has been found.
