New service checks AI-drafted legal briefs for fabricated citations
CiteProof, a new legal citation-checking service, aims to catch fabricated case references and inaccurate quotations in documents drafted with AI. The tool addresses a growing problem: lawyers have submitted AI-generated errors to courts, leading to sanctions and other consequences, and a Georgia court decision was vacated after an order contained fictional citations.
CiteProof says it checks citations against public court records using deterministic searches, with no large language models involved. Free users can check individual citations or statutes; paid scans offer quotation checks, reports and bulk reviews. A single brief costs $49, a five-brief bundle costs $199, and law firms can pay $499 a month for 200 reviews; the service does not assess the strength of legal arguments.
