Judges Are Checking AI Citations. Are You?
If one citation in your filing is wrong, it is your responsibility — not the AI's.

The Standard
Courts Expect Verification
Wadsworth v. Walmart — D. Wyo. February 2025
Morgan & Morgan attorneys were sanctioned $5,000 for filing motions containing AI-hallucinated citations. The ruling was direct.
“As attorneys transition to the world of AI, the duty to check their sources and make a reasonable inquiry into existing law remains unchanged”
— Judge, D. Wyo. · Wadsworth v. Walmart (Feb. 2025)
- • Bar associations are issuing guidance on AI use in legal filings
- • Courts are holding attorneys personally accountable for unverified citations
- • ABA Opinion 512 (July 2024) makes competence obligations explicit
- • Under ABA Rules 5.1 and 5.3, supervising attorneys are responsible for AI-assisted work produced by associates and paralegals they oversee — even if they did not generate it themselves
If you use AI, you verify it. NeXa makes that verification instant.
What Nexa Does
A Verification Layer Between AI and the Court
Direct Source Links
Every verified citation links directly to the primary source. Your research is traceable. Every claim has a URL. If opposing counsel or a judge asks where it came from, you can show them in seconds.
Primary Source Verification
Every citation is checked against Westlaw, Lexis, and CourtListener primary databases — not summaries, not AI-generated descriptions. The original source document is confirmed to exist and match the proposition cited.
Amber Flagging for Unverifiable Citations
If a citation cannot be verified against primary sources, NeXa flags it in amber and excludes it from the clean output. You see exactly what cannot be confirmed before it reaches the court.
Documented Verification Record
Every NeXa session creates a traceable record of what was verified, when, and against which source. If a citation is challenged, your process is already documented. This is your defense before you need one.
Common Objections
“ But I Already Verify Citations Myself ”
Most lawyers already verify AI outputs. The challenge isn't whether verification happens.
It's how long it takes, how consistent it is, and whether you have a documented record when a judge asks how you verified.
It's how long it takes, and how consistent it is.

- No structured record that verification occurred
- Time-consuming — especially under filing deadlines
- Inconsistent across team members and matters
