Citation Verification · Module

AI may draft. It still has to prove it.

Optimaite Law checks statutes, cases, references and citation chains in AI drafts. Every reference receives status, source and risk notice — so lawyers can draft faster without carrying blind hallucination risk into filings.

What the AI takes over

AI extracts all legal citations, checks existence, currency and context, and marks uncertain claims directly in the document.

From AI draft to verifiable authority

Citations are not decoration; they are checked.

01KI-Schritt

AI extracts statutes, courts, docket numbers, references, paragraph numbers and implicit case-law claims.

§ 626 BGB · Federal Labour Court 2 AZR · para. 41

Ihre Entscheidung: You see a verification list directly on the document.

02KI-Schritt

AI checks whether statute and case exist and whether reference and court match.

Ihre Entscheidung: Wrong or unclear hits are marked red instead of silently fixed.

03KI-Schritt

AI assesses currency: repealed, overruled, limited, confirmed or open.

Ihre Entscheidung: You decide whether the authority stays or is replaced.

04KI-Schritt

AI suggests replacement authorities or more precise wording in track-changes mode.

Ihre Entscheidung: You accept only what legally holds.

Berufsträger-Kontrolle. Citation verification is a control layer, not a legal opinion. Optimaite marks source status and risk; legal assessment remains with the lawyer.

Built in, not bolted on

Four building blocks working together.

01

Citation extraction

Statutes, cases, paragraph numbers and references are detected automatically from drafts.

02

Existence check

Wrong docket numbers, non-existent statutes or distorted references are flagged.

03

Currency status

Authorities are checked for overruled, confirmed or limited effect.

04

In-document notices

Risks appear where the citation sits, not in a separate chat transcript.

Replacement suggestions

AI suggests stronger authorities or more careful wording.

Status quo

Today this costs time. With Optimaite it no longer does.

Today, without Optimaite
  • Hallucinations sound convincing

    AI can cite statutes, paragraphs or cases that look plausible but do not exist or do not fit.

  • Manual checking costs time

    Checking every reference individually in databases eats the time saved by AI drafting.

  • Currency is hard to see

    A case may exist but be overruled, limited or relevant only in another context.
