What problem does it solve?
Academic legal texts frequently contain incorrect citations, unverifiable references, and mismatched quotations that undermine their scholarly credibility. Manually cross-checking every source against original legal databases, court records, and treaty collections is extremely time-consuming, prone to human error, and often impractical for lengthy manuscripts like theses or journal articles.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Comprehensive Source Verification: Checks every reference and direct quotation in PDF or DOCX academic legal manuscripts against 10+ authoritative legal databases, including Zotero, Lovdata, EUR-Lex, HUDOC, the EFTA Court, UN Treaty Collection, and the National Library of Norway.
- Structured, Actionable Output: Generates a color-coded .xlsx worklist with per-reference status, severity-coded discrepancies (high/medium/low), and a metadata summary sheet to make it easy to identify and fix errors.
- Resumable Workflow: Handles large manuscripts that require multiple sessions to check, automatically picking up where it left off if you re-upload the document and existing worklist file. Use case: A legal researcher submitting a peer-reviewed article can run this skill to catch citation formatting errors, incorrect quotations, and unsupported claims before submission, reducing the risk of desk rejection.
