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

Your call: You see a verification list directly on the document.
AI checks whether statute and case exist and whether reference and court match.
Your call: Wrong or unclear hits are marked red instead of silently fixed.
AI assesses currency: repealed, overruled, limited, confirmed or open.
Your call: You decide whether the authority stays or is replaced.
AI suggests replacement authorities or more precise wording in track-changes mode.
Your call: You accept only what legally holds.
Lawyer in control. Citation verification is a control layer, not a legal opinion. Optimaite marks source status and risk; legal assessment remains with the lawyer.
Four building blocks in operational interplay.
Citation extraction
Statutes, cases, paragraph numbers and references are detected automatically from drafts.
Existence check
Wrong docket numbers, non-existent statutes or distorted references are flagged.
Currency status
Authorities are checked for overruled, confirmed or limited effect.
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.
Today this costs time. Not anymore with 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.
AI extracts statutes, courts, docket numbers, references, paragraph numbers and implicit case-law claims.
→ § 626 BGB · Federal Labour Court 2 AZR · para. 41
AI checks whether statute and case exist and whether reference and court match.
AI assesses currency: repealed, overruled, limited, confirmed or open.
Frequently asked
No. It checks sources, plausibility and currency. Legal argument and responsibility remain with the lawyer.
Yes. Optimaite can flag statements like 'according to settled case law' and request authority or more careful wording.
