Examples

Checks Illinois and included federal primary law. If the quote and citation cannot be paired safely, LawEngine separates the issue instead of guessing.

VERIFY

No AI in the verification path. On purpose.

Verification is the part of the workflow where LawEngine should be boring: parse the citation, inspect supported source text, compare the words, and return evidence instead of asking a model to decide whether a quote is true.

We confirm a case citation exists. We don't pretend to have read the opinion for you.

Document Assessment
How to read results

This public verifier is strongest on statutory and rule text. We confirm a case citation exists. We don't pretend to have read the opinion for you.

Source quote matched

LawEngine matched the quoted text to the cited authority in current coverage.

Citation found

LawEngine found the authority, but no supported quoted text was checked.

Attorney review suggested

LawEngine found a citation, attribution, currentness, or ambiguity issue for attorney review.

Citation mismatch flagged

The quoted text did not match the cited source, or structured evidence points to a source problem.

Not checked

Short phrases, record material, secondary sources, and outside-coverage claims are separated instead of guessed.

  • Paste the passage as it appears in the filing, with the citation and quoted language together.
  • Direct quotes from statutes, rules, regulations, or supported federal primary law work best.
  • Very short phrases are separated because they can appear in many sources.
