Courts in the United Kingdom, the United States and Germany are now sanctioning lawyers who cite cases that do not exist. Paste a skeleton, opinion or advice, and this tool confirms each authority is real and that its name matches its citation, against official sources.
Read this first. This tab confirms that a cited case or statute exists, that a case name matches its citation, and that a cited section is real, and tells you what each case is about. It does not tell you whether a case is still good law. Always open the linked official record. A green result means the authority is real, not that it wins your point.
UK, US and (best effort) German citations. Nothing is stored.
Copied. Paste it into your attendance note or file record.
How this works. Give a citation and the point you are relying on it for. This tab pulls the judgment and shows you the actual paragraphs that discuss your point, with their paragraph numbers, plus what the case is about. It shows you the passage so you can confirm the case supports you. It does not decide that for you. The passage is the proof.
UK fully supported. US needs a free CourtListener token for content.
Important. This is a search aid, not a substitute for research. It runs your description as a search of the official case-law databases and lists genuine results, ranked by the database's own relevance. It is not wholly reliable: a listed case may not in fact be on point, may be out of date, or may no longer be good law, and relevant cases may not appear. You must open and read each judgment before relying on it. Nothing here is legal advice.
Results are real cases from the official database, not generated.
