Frequently asked questions

No. VeriLeges is a verification layer for legal source citations and verification signals. It does not replace legal advice or human legal assessment.

A green outcome means this check found no signals. It is not legal approval and not a full legal judgment.

Among other things: Dutch legislation (including via wetten.overheid.nl) and Dutch case law through linked sources and our own case-law catalog, with Rechtspraak.nl as source link and reference. Exact checks depend on citation type and available metadata.

Not only that. VeriLeges checks source citations and, where supported, also provides contextual attention points. What we check depends on the source type and the available links.

Yes. VeriLeges is intended as a first verification layer for legal texts in which AI has included source citations or legal references.

Formal case-law relations show that a later instance (partly) quashed this judgment. You get a review signal and a link to that later judgment. It is not a final legal conclusion and not a claim that the source is unusable in every context.

No. Existence is the baseline. We also recognize more citation forms via our Dutch case-law catalog, and where supported we can signal if a cited judgment was later quashed in the same case chain.

VeriLeges is not intended as a general AI training environment for user input. See the trust page for the current description of processing and storage.

No. That is a different kind of validation, for example GAAV or identity checks. VeriLeges checks whether legal citations in text (ECLIs, statutory articles) exist in linked sources such as Rechtspraak.nl and wetten.overheid.nl. It is a first filter, not a legal ruling.
