Public source → Human review before judicial review
Human‑verified citations before filing.
CiteVerified is a pre-filing citation audit desk for litigators. Real humans verify every case, statute, rule, quotation, pinpoint, record cite, and exhibit reference before your brief leaves the building — then deliver a manual audit log with screenshots so you can see exactly what cleared and what failed.

The market problem
The court does not care whether the mistake came from ChatGPT, a junior associate, or a vendor.
Professional rules put the signature risk on the filing attorney. CiteVerified exists because the cheapest time to catch a fake case, bad quote, dead statute, or wrong record cite is before filing.
1,400+AI hallucination matters tracked globallyPublic tracker count; not all are sanction cases.
500+lawyer entries in public tracking dataUseful as risk intelligence, not legal advice.
27distinct public attorney / firm sanction examples on our wallEach item is unique, with a public source link.

What you get
A human-created audit log your eyes can trust in one glance.
Every brief comes back with a manual audit log showing existence checks, quotation and pinpoint review, record/exhibit cite confirmation, currentness notes, and screenshot proof. Nonexistent cases and unsupported quotations are flagged in red.
CitationStatusAnalyst note

Quoted languageNarrowQuote accurate, but context needs review.
Record citationMatchedPage/line agrees with the brief.
Suspicious authorityNot foundFlagged red before filing.
Core controls
Built for the specific errors that get lawyers sanctioned.
We do not “improve” your argument. We check whether the authority, quote, pinpoint, record cite, and filing package can survive scrutiny.
Case existence checks
We verify that every cited case exists and that the citation resolves to the authority claimed.
Pinpoint and quote audit
We compare quotations and propositions against source text and flag paraphrases that overstate the case.
Statutes, rules, currentness
We check statutory and rule references, currentness, and obvious negative-treatment concerns.
Record and exhibit cites
We match record references, exhibits, page/line cites, appendix cites, and declaration references.
Screenshot proof pack
Every verification entry can include screenshot evidence so counsel can review proof fast.
Red-flag memo
Nonexistent, misquoted, miscited, unsupported, stale, or ambiguous items are escalated in plain English.
Workflow
A simple pre-filing checkpoint.
Designed for trial briefs, appellate briefs, dispositive motions, oppositions, replies, declarations, appendices, and emergency filings.
Upload
Send the draft, record, exhibits, court, deadline, and any local formatting requirements.
Map
We build a cite map of every authority, quotation, pinpoint, exhibit, and record citation.
Verify
Human reviewers check existence, quote accuracy, proposition support, and record matches.
Deliver
You receive an audit log, proof screenshots, flagged items, and an annotated return copy.
Pricing
Cheaper than one sanctions response.
Use it as a standing pre-filing control for every AI-assisted, associate-drafted, or high-stakes brief.
