FOCAL CITECHECK
Source-linked legal review
LEGAL RESEARCH WORKBENCH U.S. CASE LAW

Every legal claim should
survive a source check.

Verify what cited cases actually say, or find ranked authority relevant to a legal issue. The strongest research candidates move through an automatic source audit in the same run.

Files are read in this browser. Original binaries are not uploaded; extracted text, opaque document IDs, and page locations are sent when you run the audit. Filenames stay in this browser tab.

PDF pages with missing or suspicious text layers are automatically rendered and OCR-processed in this browser. OCR can take longer and can misread names, quotations, or citations, so compare recovered text with the original page.

The inventory detects supported full case citations, linked named short forms, and Id. references. Supra, bare-name references, citation history, and later treatment still require review of the primary sources.

    Public test: text is sent to TypeSafe for claim checks. Case names and citation details may be sent to CourtListener and TinyFish to locate sources. Original files are not sent. Do not submit privileged, confidential, sealed, or personal information.

    Your source check will appear here

    We’ll identify the authorities, retrieve the underlying opinions, and test each legal takeaway against the cited language.

    DESIGNED FOR REVIEW, NOT RELIANCE

    The opinion stays in the loop.

    01

    Evidence before verdicts

    Findings point back to the case text so a human can inspect the basis.

    02

    Authority is contextual

    Jurisdiction, court level, posture, and later treatment still require judgment.

    03

    Uncertainty is visible

    Confidence and unresolved citations are shown, not silently converted to fact.
