Veracity for Law
Citation verification
for legal professionals
Legal citations need to be verified quickly and reliably.
Veracity provides the tools to verify citations with confidence.
The problem
Hours of manual verification. Zero margin for error.
Citations in legal documents were once trusted implicitly. Today, that trust has broken down. As AI drafting tools proliferate, plausible-looking but fabricated authorities appear in court filings with alarming frequency.
In response, courts and legal authorities are introducing strict mandates that every cited authority be verified independently, explicitly instructing against relying on AI systems to check citations. For lawyers, judicial clerks, and judges alike, the burden is multiplying: there is more to review, heightened exposure to errors, and an urgent need to verify authorities independently.

Frequently asked questions
Does Veracity use AI to check citations?
No. Veracity for Law uses zero generative AI or LLMs in the verification process. It functions as an expert system combining probabilistic rules to handle citation and claim extraction, with a growing citation index, and explicit, non-probabilistic rules to evaluate each citation. The result is a fully auditable system that cannot hallucinate citations or authorities.
Does Veracity decide whether a citation or legal argument is correct?
No. Veracity does not replace legal judgment. It extracts claims and citations, matches them to primary legal authorities, and applies your configurable rules to flag potential issues so legal professionals can review them efficiently.
Can Veracity be customised?
Yes. Review rules can be configured to match your standards, jurisdiction guidelines, citation formats, and risk tolerance. Veracity can also integrate with the data sources and legal databases you have access to, providing the coverage you need.
How does Veracity integrate into your existing workflow?
Veracity can be run through our web interface, integrated into Microsoft Word, used via API, or operated through an MCP server for legal AI workflows.
