Citations.law provides deterministic legal citation verification. No AI guesswork. No hallucination. Every citation checked mechanically against a database of 21 million+ indexed references.
Your documents are never stored, never sent to the cloud, and never leave your control. Attorney-client privilege is preserved at every step.
CiteGuard is the citation verification service within Citations.law — built for litigators who can't afford to cite bad law.
Every citation is checked against a known corpus of court decisions. Like searching for a word in a document — it's there or it isn't. No AI opinions. No hallucination. No guessing.
Your documents are processed locally and never stored. Nothing is sent to the cloud. Nothing can be subpoenaed. Your clients' confidentiality is maintained at every step.
Upload opposing counsel's briefs, motions, or filings. CiteGuard scans every citation and tells you which ones don't check out — giving you a tactical advantage.
Paste text, upload Word documents, PDFs, HTML, or RTF. Scanned PDFs are processed with local OCR — even photocopied filings work.
Get a clear, structured verification report in seconds. Every citation marked as verified, ambiguous, or not found. No ambiguity about what the tool is telling you.
21 million+ citation references from federal and state courts nationwide, built from authoritative public sources including the Caselaw Access Project and CourtListener.
Three steps. No complexity.
Upload a brief, motion, filing, or memo. Or paste text directly. Supports Word, PDF, HTML, RTF, and plain text.
Every legal citation is extracted and checked deterministically against our database of 21 million+ indexed references.
A clear verification report marks each citation as verified, ambiguous, or not in corpus. No false positives. No false negatives.
We built Citations.law with one unbreakable rule: your documents are yours alone. No files are stored on our servers. No text is sent to third-party AI services. No data can be subpoenaed, discovered, or leaked — because it was never there.
The verification engine is deterministic — it doesn't use large language models to make judgment calls about your citations. It uses mechanical lookup against a known corpus of published court decisions. If it's not in the database, we tell you honestly — we never call absence "fake."
