Verify a citation and quote
verify_citationSign-in required: call connect(email) and connect_verify first (free, one email) unless this connection is already signed in. Check a citation SOMEBODY ELSE produced - a model, an opposing brief, a draft memo. Answers three questions separately and never merges them: does the provision (straipsnis) or the case (byla / nutartis) exist, does it actually say the sentence attributed to it (pass quote), and is the act still in force (galioja). A case this corpus does not hold is reported as not held, never as non-existent. ONE citation per call, as written: CK 6.217 str. 2 d., XII-2603 58 str., e3K-3-105-684/2019, 40 p.; for a list, call once per citation. An act without an article (XII-2603 alone) is not a pinpoint: the answer names the act and how to read the article.
Input Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| quote | No | The sentence the draft attributes to that provision. Supplying it turns 'does this provision exist' into 'does it say this', which is the question worth asking. On a ruling the answer lists EVERY place the sentence is found (`matches`), each with whose words it is (`voice`: the court's own, a party's argument the court recounts, a lower court's, an institution's, or an earlier ruling the court restates; `mixed` with `fragments` when the sentence runs across speakers), and near-identical wording elsewhere in the ruling (`similar_passages`). A quote not found word for word but at least 0.7 similar is `found_paraphrased`, with both texts side by side; the closest match always says whose words it is, and `headline` says first when they are not the court's. A cited paragraph that differs from where the text is (`40 p.` vs `39 p.`) is named in `cited_vs_found`. | |
| on_date | No | Check the quote against the law on this date, `YYYY-MM-DD`, rather than today: a part inserted or amended after it answers not_in_force_on_date or wording_changed_after_date, naming the amending law. | |
| session | No | The `session` value the sign-in returned. Pass it on every call in this conversation, so the sign-in survives however this client handles connections; omit it when the user connected with Sign in (OAuth) or a key. | |
| citation | Yes | The citation exactly as it appears in the text you are checking - `CK 6.217 str. 2 d.`, `JANĮ 13 straipsnio 2 dalies 1 punktas`, `CK 3.192¹ str.` (also `3.192(1)`, `3.192-1`), or a ruling with its paragraph: `e3K-3-196-313/2022, 40 p.`. Abbreviated and full forms both parse. | |
| jurisdiction | No | Which jurisdiction to read the citation against (`LT`). Omit for the account's own. |
