Checklist: Verifying AI-generated legal text

A practical checklist for reviewing AI-generated legal text.

1

Check ECLI numbers

Look up each ECLI number on Rechtspraak.nl. Does the ruling exist?

2

Check later quashing

Was the judgment (partly) quashed on appeal or cassation? Open the later judgment if there is one.

3

Check statute articles

Is the article number correct? Does it exist in the referenced law?

4

Check the context

Does the AI text address the same legal question as the source?

5

Watch for assertive claims

Does the AI state something as fact when the source is more nuanced?

6

Check dates

Is the mentioned date consistent with the source?

7

Look at the bigger picture

Does the AI miss relevant counter-arguments or nuances?

Want existence, citation forms, and status signals faster?
