WHY THIS MATTERS NOW
The rule changed. A clear review process helps your team respond.
On May 28, 2026, the Florida Supreme Court amended Florida Rule of General Practice and Judicial Administration 2.515(d)(2), effective June 15, 2026. Each signer represents that the legal authorities identified in the filing exist and are accurately cited. Separately, Florida’s Sixth District Court of Appeal has warned about nonexistent cases and real cases cited for propositions they do not support.
Can we locate the authority?
Keep every cited case, statute, rule, or other authority in a review queue so a person can locate and check the source.
Does the source match its use?
Give the reviewer the filing context and source information, then record questions about the citation or the proposition it is offered to support.
What is still open—and who owns it?
Keep comments, correction requests, attorney decisions, and the reviewed document revision together instead of scattered across email and notes.
THE PRACTICAL VALUE
Fewer handoff gaps. A clearer next step for every citation.
See what is ready for review and what still needs attention.
Keep questions, replies, author, role, and timestamp in context.
See which filing version the team discussed and reviewed.
Keep the final citation decision with the responsible attorney.
The rule applies whether or not a filing was prepared with AI. It authorizes courts to impose sanctions for an inconsistent filing after notice and an opportunity to be heard. Citation Verify organizes a firm’s internal review; the court does not require this tool, it is not a court certification, and it cannot replace legal research or attorney judgment or guarantee compliance or prevent sanctions.
A SIMPLE, HUMAN-LED WORKFLOW
From draft to review record, one step at a time.
Keep the next action clear for the person preparing the filing and the attorney responsible for the final review.
Open a matter
Keep the case, filings, and team in one firm workspace.
Upload the filing
Preserve each revision so the team can see which document is under review.
Prepare citations together
Select citation text from the extracted filing or add an authority manually. Keep notes with that item.
Record attorney decisions
The responsible attorney reviews each item and records the decision. An optional internal record stays tied to that revision.
BUILT FOR THE WAY FIRMS WORK
Make the handoff visible. Keep the decision with the attorney.
Paralegals and staff can prepare the list, add source details, and raise questions. Attorneys can review the same citation thread, request a correction, and record their own decision.
- Invite teammates by email
- See who added each comment and when
- Keep prior revisions and their review history
- Revisit an optional internal evidence package
