Is that citation real?
Paste a passage from a brief, a memo, or an A.I. answer. FLexlaw checks the citation against at least two independent sources of truth — then reads the opinion to see whether it actually says what the passage claims.
Built for Florida — state and federal (11th Cir., N.D./M.D./S.D. Fla.). Other jurisdictions may not resolve, by design.
Check an entire brief at once.
This page checks one passage. The FLexlaw Workspace runs every citation in a filing — authenticity and support, side by side with the opinions themselves.

What the two findings mean
- Is the case real?
- We resolve the reporter cite against at least two independent sources of truth. When they land on the same case, that's the strongest signal. When they disagree, or only one finds it, we say so instead of guessing.
- Does the case say it?
- A real citation attached to a proposition the opinion never makes is the more dangerous error, and the one spell-check-style tools miss. We read the cited opinion and report whether it supports your passage, says the opposite, or simply doesn't address it — three different findings, never collapsed into one. Quoted language is checked against the opinion text separately.
No automated check is a substitute for reading the case. Verify anything critical before you file.
