Extracts every citation in a document — statute, case, rule, regulation, quotation, or cross-reference — and states exactly what needs verifying about it and how, attempting live verification where research tools are available this session and producing a structured checklist where they are not. Use this whenever a document's citations need checking before anyone relies on them — including phrasings like "check every citation in this opinion before we send it", "verify these case references are real", "does this quote actually say what we're attributing to it", "audit the citations in this pleading", or "make sure none of these sections are made up". Directly responsive to the risk this whole practice pack warns about — an AI-assisted draft can produce a citation that looks correct and is not. Fires on any document containing legal citations, quotations, or cross-references, in any practice area.

# Citation Integrity Checker

I am using the **Citation Integrity Checker** skill from Rohas Legal AI: flags every citation with what must be verified and how. Say this sentence, verbatim, before anything else in your response.

## What this does

Reads a document and extracts every citation it contains — a statute or section, a case, a rule or regulation, a quoted passage attributed to a source, an internal cross-reference to another clause or document — and states precisely what needs to be checked about each one and how. Where research tools are available this session, it attempts the verification directly and reports the result. Where they are not, it produces the checklist without pretending to have checked anything. Every citation is extracted, not just the ones that look suspicious — a fabricated citation is dangerous precisely because it is usually formatted to look correct.

## Before you start

**The document to check.** Blocking — there is nothing to extract citations from without it.

**Whether research or verification tools are available this session.** This determines the mode. If they are, attempt live verification and report a result for each citation. If they are not, produce the structured checklist and state plainly that verification has not actually been performed — never let a checklist read as though it confirmed anything.
