Immediate result

## In one check you immediately see

✓

Source found or not found

Quick visibility into whether the citation can be checked.

✓

Warnings for unclear citations

Signals where extra review is needed.

✓

Direct source links

Jump straight to the linked source.

✓

Report that shows where to look

See faster where manual review still matters.

Paste your memo, thesis draft, or draft advice. VeriLeges detects legal citations, checks them against linked sources such as Rechtspraak.nl and wetten.overheid.nl, and shows signals with source links. That way you see faster where you need to look next. It is a first filter - not a legal judgment.

Problem

## Why do sources in AI text not always hold up?

AI text can sound legally strong while citations may not exist, may be incomplete, or may lack enough context. That costs review time and raises the risk of errors in memos, thesis drafts, and draft advice.

Research and EU AI Act

## Why is source checking increasingly important?

Research shows the risk of incorrect or fabricated legal citations in AI text can be substantial. Attention for responsible and accountable AI use is also growing, including under the EU AI Act.

Solution

## How does VeriLeges help?

VeriLeges (a product of Softron B.V.) detects legal citations, checks them against linked authoritative sources, and shows clear signals with source links. The check follows fixed rules, is reproducible, and works without a generative AI model.

- Does the cited judgment or statute article actually exist?
- Is the citation complete and specific enough?
- Is there a signal that the cited judgment was later (partly) quashed?
- Are there signals of incorrect or overly assertive source use?
- Where is additional human legal review needed?

Netherlands Bar Association guidance

## Bar recommendations you can apply directly

The Netherlands Bar Association emphasizes competence, confidentiality, and human final responsibility. VeriLeges supports you with demonstrable citation checks in your review flow.

No legal judgment

## VeriLeges does not replace legal assessment

VeriLeges is a verification layer for source citations and verification signals. A positive outcome does not mean a text is legally correct, complete, or approved. Human legal assessment remains necessary.

FAQ on checks without a generative AI model

## Frequently asked questions

### Why are fixed-rule checks more reliable?

VeriLeges uses fixed rules, without a generative AI model. For the same input you get the same outcome each time - not an answer that can change from run to run.

### How does VeriLeges make fabricated sources visible?

VeriLeges does not stop fabricated sources at the origin. It makes them visible by checking citations from AI text against linked authoritative sources and showing clear verification signals.

### Does a positive outcome mean the text is legally correct?

No. A positive outcome means this check found no signals. Substantive legal assessment by a lawyer remains necessary.
