CiteRight is designed to make legal citation automatic.
The Toronto-based company, founded in 2017 by McGill graduate Aaron Wenner, says its features can dramatically streamline legal drafting workflow, reduce errors, and simplify compliance.
Through CiteSense, users can scan Word documents, and the tech instantly identifies and matches plain-text citations to authoritative cases from a library or the database of Jurisage, an AI-powered legaltech platform which merged with CiteSense at the end of 2023.
CiteSense allows users to integrate existing documents, allowing junior associates and articling students to immediately focus on substantive legal analysis rather than administrative citation tasks. Users can also automate the creation of Tables and Books of Authorities, saving hours of tedious manual citation checks while improving overall document accuracy.
The company’s “Legislation 2.0” software, meanwhile, enables users to pinpoint sections, subsections, or paragraphs of legislation, and automatically create Schedule B compilations with accurate formatting while ensuring compliance.
“Instantly convert plain-text citations into interactive, CiteRight-formatted citations with CiteSense, and effortlessly compile precise legislative excerpts into submission-ready appendices with Legislation 2.0,” stated Wenner stated last year. “CiteSense and Legislation 2.0 can dramatically enhance your legal drafting processes, save significant time, and ensure greater accuracy and compliance in your submissions.”
Jurisage launched in 2021 as a joint venture between AltaML’s Venture Studio and Canadian legal publisher Compass Law.
The firm’s AI software helps litigators research case law faster, draft documents more efficiently, and save time on tasks.
