Authority Verification

Overview

CaseMark's Authority Verification skill automatically validates every legal citation in your documents against authoritative legal databases, retrieves source text for confirmed authorities, and discovers related cases to strengthen your arguments. It transforms a tedious, error-prone manual process into a streamlined, reliable workflow.

Manually verifying legal citations is one of the most time-consuming tasks in legal practice. Each citation must be individually checked against databases, source text must be reviewed for accuracy, and any errors—especially AI-hallucinated citations—can result in sanctions, embarrassment, and harm to clients.

CaseMark automates the entire authority verification workflow. Upload your document and the AI extracts every citation, verifies each one against comprehensive legal databases, retrieves source text, flags problematic references, and even suggests related authorities—delivering a complete, filing-ready verification report in minutes.

How it works

  1. 1. Upload your brief, motion, or legal document containing citations

  2. 2. AI extracts and verifies each citation against authoritative legal databases

  3. 3. Unverified, flagged, or multi-match citations are highlighted for review

  4. 4. Download a comprehensive authority verification report (DOCX, PDF)

Questions

What types of legal citations can CaseMark verify?

CaseMark's authority verification handles case law citations, statutory references, and other legal authorities. The system checks each citation against comprehensive legal databases to confirm the source exists and matches the cited text.

How does CaseMark handle citations that don't match a known source?

When a citation cannot be verified—whether due to a typo, hallucination, or unsupported source—CaseMark flags it as 'not found' in the report. This helps you quickly identify and correct problematic citations before filing.

Can CaseMark check all citations in an entire brief at once?

Yes. CaseMark can audit an entire brief, motion, or opinion by extracting every citation in the document and running verification on each one. You receive a comprehensive report covering every authority referenced.

Does CaseMark find related authorities beyond what's already cited?

Absolutely. After verifying your existing citations, CaseMark can expand your authority set by discovering related cases and authorities. This helps strengthen your arguments with additional supporting precedent.

How accurate is the AI citation verification?

CaseMark uses direct database lookups rather than generative guessing, so verification results are highly reliable. When the system encounters ambiguous matches, it flags them for manual review rather than making assumptions.

Can I use this to check for AI-hallucinated citations?

Yes—this is one of the most common use cases. CaseMark's authority verification is ideal for validating citations generated by AI drafting tools, ensuring every cited case actually exists before you file.
