What RealityCheck Verifies
Two critical questions before any filing goes out the door.
As generative AI becomes more common in legal drafting, the risks extend far beyond fabricated citations. RealityCheck adds a critical layer of verification.
Question 01
Does the authority actually exist?
RealityCheck verifies cited cases and federal statutes to help identify hallucinated or incorrectly cited authorities before they create risk.
Identifies
- Fabricated case citations
- Non-existent statutes
- Incorrect authority identification
- Generative AI citation errors
Question 02
Does the authority support the argument being made?
RealityCheck goes beyond citation verification. It evaluates whether quotations, characterizations, and legal assertions accurately reflect the cited authority.
Identifies
- Quotations that do not match the source text
- Incorrect pincites and quoted language on wrong pages
- Cases cited for propositions they reject
- Reversals of a holding's actual meaning
- Concurrences or dissents presented as majority holdings
- Misuse of citation signals such as But see
- Authorities cited outside their proper legal context

Why It Matters
Hallucinated authorities
are only part of
the problem.
In many filings, the greater risk comes from real authorities being used inaccurately. As courts increasingly scrutinize AI-assisted legal submissions, legal teams face growing pressure to ensure filings are both technically correct and substantively accurate.
Protect credibility with courts, clients, and opposing counsel.
"A citation can be real — and still be wrong."
RealityCheck helps reduce risk from:
- Fabricated authorities
- Inaccurate quotations
- Incorrect pincites
- Misstated holdings
- Unsupported legal assertions
- Misleading legal analysis
