How it works

scan. review. verify. insert.

Four motions, one task pane, zero context-switching. Veraciting lives inside Word — your document never has to leave it.

01 — Scan

find every cite, where it sits.

Click Scan brief in the Veraciting ribbon or press V. The pane reads the active document, locates every authority, and shows you what it found — without changing a word of your draft.

  • case names + reporter cites (federal & state)
  • statutes (USC, state codes)
  • regulations (CFR, state administrative codes)
  • agency precedent (EOIR, NLRB, SSA, IRS, FERC)
  • short-form cites and string cites grouped automatically
Heads up. Scanning is read-only. Nothing changes in your document until you choose to mark or insert. The scan completes in ~3 seconds for a typical brief; the pane shows a progress indicator for anything longer.

Argument

The court in Pereira v. Sessions, 138 S. Ct. 2105 (2018), held that 8 U.S.C. § 1229(a) requires a single document. Niz-Chavez v. Garland, 593 U.S. 155 (2021), reaffirmed.

As we explained in Matter of A-B-, 27 I&N Dec. 316, the standard is well-settled.

02 — Review

categories, counts, and a way to jump.

The pane groups what it found by kind, with a single-color badge so you can spot the shape of your brief at a glance. Click any cite's arrow and Word scrolls to the first occurrence — with a soft pulse around the marked range, so you can see what's about to land in your table.

Click any cite to open the detail drawer: every occurrence, the verification source (when v1.5 is on), and the option to edit, unmark, or jump to the next instance.

Nothing is committed to the document at this stage. You can re-scan, edit, or close the pane and the brief is exactly as you left it.

03 — Verify (v1.5)

we read the cite. then we look it up.

Every authority is resolved against a local index. Case names match reporter volumes; statute sections are checked for existence; agency decisions are confirmed in the published series. Anything that doesn't resolve is flagged in signal-orange — not deleted, not assumed wrong, just surfaced.

  • case name ↔ reporter volume + page
  • statute section exists at that citation
  • regulation subsection is current
  • agency decision is in the published series
  • pin-cite falls within the opinion's page range

We flag, you decide. A flagged cite is never silently rewritten. You'll see why it was flagged, with a suggestion if we have one, and you choose.

04 — Insert

native Word fields, not pasted text.

When you're ready, Veraciting inserts a real Word Table of Authorities at the cursor — using the same field machinery the Bluebook expects. Page numbers update automatically. Use Passim kicks in at five+ occurrences. Hyperlinks honor each court's local rules.

  • real TOA field — not a pasted snapshot
  • category headers and separators as the rules require
  • Passim at five or more occurrences (configurable)
  • hyperlinked TOA where local rules permit (off by default)
  • rebuild on demand when you edit the brief
One quiet caveat. The Federal Circuit asks counsel not to hyperlink appendix cites. Veraciting respects that — and every other local rule we know about.
re-marking

edit your brief. scan again.

Marking is idempotent. When you re-scan after editing, Veraciting recognizes the citations it already marked, preserves them, and only updates the parts that changed. No duplicate fields. No fragile reformatting.

Every cite mark sits inside a bookmark that starts with veraciting_TA_. If we find marks that don't start with our prefix — say, from Best Authority or Word's native Mark Citation — we leave them alone. You can opt to merge them, replace them, or keep both, with one click.

In the ribbon

one tab. three actions.

Veraciting adds a single ribbon tab to Word. The pane open/close button is the most-used; scan and insert are the actions. The pilcrow icon repeats from the dock so users recognize it instantly.
