AI-generated citations and legal research
A plausible citation is the beginning of a research task. The useful question is whether the underlying authority exists, supports the proposition, and remains relevant to the matter. This collection connects that verification work to the policies and training that make it repeatable.
Questions to bring to your team
- Can the researcher retrieve the underlying authority independently?
- Does the cited passage support the proposition in context?
- Has the reviewer checked jurisdiction, subsequent treatment, and the final draft?
