Authority Verification

Overview

CaseMark's Authority Verification skill automates the painstaking process of checking legal citations, retrieving source material, and discovering related authorities. Upload any brief, motion, or opinion and receive a comprehensive verification report that flags problematic citations, confirms valid references, and expands your authority set with related cases.

Manually verifying legal citations is one of the most tedious yet critical tasks in legal practice. Attorneys spend hours cross-referencing each citation, pulling source text to confirm relevance, and searching for additional supporting authorities—all while knowing that a single bad citation can undermine credibility with the court.

CaseMark automates the entire authority verification workflow by checking each citation against comprehensive legal databases, retrieving full source text for confirmed references, and expanding your research with related authorities. The result is a filing-ready verification report that gives you confidence every citation in your document is accurate and well-supported.

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

  2. 2. AI verifies each citation against comprehensive legal databases and retrieves source material

  3. 3. Review flagged citations, related authorities, and verification status for each reference

  4. 4. Export your filing-ready 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 regulatory citations across federal and state jurisdictions. The system verifies citations exactly as written and flags potential typos, hallucinations, or unsupported references.

How does CaseMark handle citations that match multiple sources?

When a citation returns multiple potential matches, CaseMark flags it for manual review rather than guessing. This ensures you maintain full control over citation accuracy and never inadvertently cite the wrong authority in your filings.

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 and running verification against each one. You receive a comprehensive report showing verified, unverified, and flagged citations across the entire document.

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

Absolutely. After verifying your existing citations, CaseMark expands your authority set by discovering related cases and authorities. This helps strengthen your arguments and ensures you haven't missed key supporting or distinguishing authorities.

How accurate is the AI citation verification?

CaseMark verifies citations against authoritative legal databases, clearly categorizing results as verified, not found, or requiring manual review. The system is designed to flag uncertainty rather than make assumptions, so you always know the confidence level of each verification.

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

Yes, this is one of the most valuable use cases. CaseMark's authority verification catches fabricated or hallucinated citations generated by AI tools, ensuring every reference in your document points to a real, verifiable legal authority before filing.
