Law

Your tools draft the work. The record shows a lawyer reviewed it.

Courts have sanctioned lawyers for AI-fabricated citations, including at firms with a written AI policy. A policy is a promise. A sealed record of who reviewed what, before it left the firm, is evidence.

EXAMPLE FRAMEOne release, one receipt
Boundary · court filing

An AI-assisted brief is about to leave the firm.

Check · the firm's citation tool

Every authority is checked before a person sees it.

Guard · the attorney of record

A named lawyer approves, rejects or escalates.

Receipt · sealed

Anyone the firm chooses can check it later, without an account.

The duty

The duty is the lawyer's, not the vendor's.

Every legal AI tool drafts, cites and summarizes under rules that put the responsibility on the lawyer.

Before filing

How to verify AI legal citations before filing.

Open the underlying authority, compare the cited passage with the draft, and have a qualified lawyer decide whether it supports the proposition. Finding a real case is only the first check.

01The authority can't be found.

Search the court's published opinions or docket and a reliable research source. Leave the citation unresolved until the authority is found or the draft is corrected.

02The case exists, but the pinpoint is wrong.

Compare the full opinion, its pagination and the words around the quotation. A matching case title does not validate a quotation.

03The passage is real, but the proposition isn't.

Read the surrounding analysis and disposition. Record the lawyer's reasoning and correction; repeating the AI's explanation is not an independent check.

Keep a review record: the draft proposition, source, exact passage or pinpoint, discrepancy, responsible lawyer, date and decision. The competence discussion in ABA Formal Opinion 512, pages 3–4, addresses independent review of generative-AI output. More in AI citation sanctions. A Planisphere receipt can record a review event; it does not decide whether an authority is good law.

Build your frame

Your firm's rules, not ours.

Planisphere doesn't ship a law firm's policy. You name the boundary, the check you already trust, the person who guards it and what happens at the crossing.

Boundary

Where work leaves the firm

A court filing, a client deliverable, a billing entry.

Check

The tool you already use

Your citation checker or conflicts search, recorded with its answer.

Guard

A named person

The attorney of record, a supervising partner, the billing lead.

Response

Watch, Flag, Hold or Wall

Watch records every crossing today; Hold and Wall run through the gate API.

For your developers

Four calls around the release.

Gate the release, record the lawyer's decision, export the trail, verify it. The review isn't friction to engineer away; it is the duty, running in code.

Questions firms ask.

Does Planisphere give legal advice?+

No. It keeps records of what your firm's tools and people did. A record can support an evidence process; it isn't a legal finding or an admissibility promise.

Do you see privileged work?+

Your workspace decides how much readable detail a record keeps. Ask us about keeping details on your side before you connect a matter system.

Who can check a receipt?+

Anyone you give it to: a fee auditor, opposing counsel or a court. Verifying needs no account and no trust in the firm.
