The Verification TaxIf you have to re-check everything, the tool added a step.
Speed without a way to check the output just moves the work later in your day. Here is what a draft you can actually check looks like.
The symptom, as lawyers describe it
What it looks like
AI drafts fast.
If every sentence still needs the scrutiny you would give your own writing, plus the extra step of catching what the model got confidently wrong, the draft did not save the time it promised.
What lawyers complain about
The fix, concretely
What changes
The fix is not "trust the AI more."
It is output built so the check is fast and specific instead of a full re-read.
That means the draft tells you, citation by citation, what it relied on.
Here is what that means concretely: Cite Check checks identified legal citations against available legal sources and surfaces citation and treatment information for attorney review. A successful match does not establish that an authority supports a particular proposition; attorneys should review the underlying authority before relying on it.
Some lawyers see this as nothing new:
Quotes are verbatim public posts by practitioners, reproduced without attribution to the individual.
That is a fair point about human review generally. The gap this page is about is narrower: whether the check takes minutes because the draft tells you what to look at, or an hour because it does not.
