Verifying citations with Mylo Cite

Fabricated citations are the legal profession’s least favorite AI story, and Mylo Prime is built so your firm never stars in one. Mylo Cite, available on Premier, checks the citations and quotations in a brief against the actual source material.

What it checks

Give Mylo Cite a draft brief and it extracts every citation and quotation, then verifies each one on several layers: does the cited case exist, does the quote actually appear in it, does the pin cite land where the quote lives, and does the source still stand as good law. Each citation comes back with a status you can see at a glance, linked to the source text so you can confirm with your own eyes.

How firms use it

• Before filing. Run every outbound brief through verification as a final gate — it takes minutes and catches both AI drafting errors and old-fashioned human ones (the transposed pin cite has been embarrassing lawyers since long before AI).
• On opposing counsel’s briefs. Verifying the other side’s citations is often even more interesting.

Statuses worth understanding

A citation can fail for different reasons: the quote doesn’t match the source, the source doesn’t say what it’s cited for, or the authority has been overruled or superseded. The verifier distinguishes these — a stale flag on a document means its verification is out of date (the document changed after it was last checked) and it should be re-run, not trusted.

The rule behind the tool

Verification supports your Rule 11-type obligations; it doesn’t replace them. A green check means the quote matches the source we checked — the judgment about whether the authority supports your argument is still yours.

Found a case the verifier got wrong? Report it with the citation — verifier accuracy reports go straight to the team that maintains it.
