Case law

Check case law in AI-generated legal text

Check whether cited judgments exist, whether references can be linked to a source, and whether there is a signal that the judgment was later quashed in the same chain of proceedings.

The problem

AI can invent judgments, use incorrect references, or cite an existing judgment that was later quashed. These are three different review problems with the same risk: finding out too late in a thesis, memo or court filing.

How VeriLeges helps

VeriLeges detects case law references (ECLI and, where possible, other citation formats), checks whether they exist, and can show formal status signals when a judgment was later quashed, with a link to the later judgment. Deterministic, without an LLM.

Three layers in your review

  1. Does the judgment exist?
  2. Can the reference be linked to one specific judgment?
  3. Is there a procedural status signal (later quashing)?

Limits

No claim about doctrine or precedent, no authority score, no final legal judgment. Only facts and review signals. VeriLeges is a first filter for your review; legal assessment stays with you.
