Answer.
Verify by independently confirming every cited authority exists, says what the brief claims, and remains good law — using authoritative sources rather than trusting the AI's summary — and by documenting that the check occurred. The duty of candor makes this non-delegable. Planisphere measures how a research tool behaves and whether it drifts, which informs how much to trust it, but it does not perform citation-checking; the verification and the legal judgment are the lawyer's.
