AuthorityCheck

Before you rely on an AI legal answer, check its citations.

Paste an answer from ChatGPT, Claude, or another AI tool. We'll show you whether we can find the cases, statutes, or rules it cites and whether the cited language actually supports the point being made.

1. Paste the answer

Use the full answer or the paragraph you want to verify. Leave out client names, facts, and anything confidential.

2. We check the citations

We look for the cited authority in the sources we have available and compare the cited text with the AI’s claim.

3. Read a clear result

For each citation, you’ll see what we found, the relevant passage, and where you should investigate further.

What this does—and doesn't—tell you

AuthorityCheck can help you spot a citation that needs a closer look. It does not tell you whether a case is still good law, replace comprehensive legal research, or give legal advice.

Check an AI answer

Start with the answer you received. You'll be able to review each cited authority before deciding what to do next.

Include the sentence with the legal claim and any citations near it.

We tell you separately whether we found the citation and whether the passage supports the AI's point.
