A Microsoft Word add-in — for every brief

we tag the authorities, you write the brief.

— every citation, accounted for.

Veraciting scans your draft, marks every case, statute, regulation, and agency decision — federal or state — for the table of authorities, and (in v1.5) cross-checks every cite against the published source, flagging anything we can't verify.

Argument · I

The agency's reliance on Matter of A-B-, 27 I&N Dec. 316 (A.G. 2018), is misplaced. The Supreme Court's reasoning in Pereira v. Sessions, 138 S. Ct. 2105 (2018), forecloses the government's position with respect to 8 U.S.C. § 1229(a).

Even assuming, arguendo, that Sanchez v. Mayorkas, 593 U.S. 409 (2021), supports the agency's reading — and it does not — the regulation at 8 C.F.R. § 1003.42(g) would still require remand. Niz-Chavez v. Garland, 593 U.S. 155 (2021), is to the contrary.

Argument · II

Petitioner is entitled to review under 8 U.S.C. § 1252(a)(2)(D), the "questions of law" exception. Guerrero-Lasprilla v. Barr, 589 U.S. 221 (2020), settled this point.

Built for the briefs that get filed

practice areas where every cite matters.

Veraciting was built by a federal-immigration appellate attorney for the work he files every week. The marking engine doesn't care what kind of brief it is — but the people who care most about a clean TOA tend to file in these rooms.

01

federal appeals

Circuit briefs, petitions for review, en banc, cert. The TOA is mandatory; the Federal Rules require Bluebook accuracy.

02

state appellate

From California Court of Appeal to the NY App. Div. Each court has its own citation idioms — Veraciting respects them.

03

immigration

EOIR briefs, BIA appeals, petitions for review. Agency precedent (I&N Dec.) is indexed alongside circuit decisions.

04

administrative

NLRB, SSA, IRS, FERC. Agency decisions, codified rules, and federal-court review all in one index.

If your practice cites authorities and your court wants a table — this works for you. Trial-court motions, agency briefs, scholarly articles. The list is just where it shines first.

How it works

three buttons. one clean table.

Veraciting lives in a Word task pane. It reads your brief, identifies authorities, and writes the table — without you ever leaving the document.

01 — SCAN

find every cite as it sits.

One click reads the active brief and tags every case, statute, regulation, and agency decision. No formatting changes you didn't ask for.

02 — VERIFY (v1.5)

cross-check against the published source.

Every cite is resolved against a local index — federal and state reporters, USC and state codes, CFR and state administrative regs, agency precedent (EOIR, NLRB, SSA, and more). If we can't find it, we say so.

03 — INSERT

generate a real Word TOA.

Native Word fields — not pasted text. Rebuild it whenever you edit the brief. Hyperlinked where local rules permit; never where they don't.

v1.5 — verification

the hallucinated cite stops here.

v1.5 cross-checks every case name, reporter pin, statute section, and regulation against a local index. If we can't find your cite where you say it is, we mark it — quietly, in the pane, before it gets filed.

  • case name matches reporter volume + page
  • statute section actually exists at that part
  • regulation subsection is current as of last index
  • agency decision is in the published series
  • pin-cite falls within the opinion's page range

Privacy is not a feature

your draft is none of our business — except enough of it to mark the cites.

Veraciting runs entirely on your machine. The verification index ships with the add-in and updates the way Word updates: locally, on your schedule, with your consent.

From the studio

"I built Veraciting because Best Authority doesn't run on a Mac, and because pasting briefs into a chatbot gives away privilege. So I made the tool I wanted."

Common questions

things people ask before they install.

does this work on Mac?

Yes — Mac was the reason this exists. Veraciting runs on Word for Microsoft 365 on macOS Sonoma and later, alongside Word for Windows. Most existing TOA add-ins are Windows-only.

will my document leave my computer?

No. Marking runs locally. Verification runs against a local index that's downloaded once and updated on a cadence you control. We do not transmit document text, ever.

what about citations Veraciting doesn't recognize?

You'll see them in the pane as "unrecognized" — neither marked nor verified, but visible so you can decide what to do. You can mark a passage manually with a button click; we won't second-guess Bluebook judgment calls.

when does v1.5 ship?

v1 ships first with marking, TOA insertion, and TOC hyperlinking. v1.5 — the verification feature — follows. Annual subscribers get v1.5 included; we won't charge twice for the same product line.
