Ideas for verifiable legal work.
Clear explanations of verification, evidence, ambiguity, and the limits of confident-sounding answers.
What Does Verification Mean for Legal AI?
Legal AI can retrieve, summarize, and analyze documents. Verification requires something more explicit: defined checks, evidentiary support, coverage, and repeatable results.
A Citation Is Not Verification
A citation can be accurate and still fail to establish a conclusion. Verification asks whether the evidence is sufficient and whether the conclusion survives the relevant evidentiary record.
Ambiguity Is a Verification Problem
When legal language supports more than one reasonable interpretation, the uncertainty can change the requirement being verified and therefore the result.
