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.
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.
federal appeals
Circuit briefs, petitions for review, en banc, cert. The TOA is mandatory; the Federal Rules require Bluebook accuracy.
state appellate
From California Court of Appeal to the NY App. Div. Each court has its own citation idioms — Veraciting respects them.
immigration
EOIR briefs, BIA appeals, petitions for review. Agency precedent (I&N Dec.) is indexed alongside circuit decisions.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.

"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."
one fair price. no per-document credits.
Best Authority charges by the document. We charge by the year. Cancel any time; the brief you already wrote stays yours either way.

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.
stop hand-marking. start writing.
