answers from general research tools still carried a fabricated citation in testing.
A fabricated citation reads exactly like a real one. The cost is not the typo; it is the brief that goes out resting on a case that does not exist.

Merlise resolves every citation to the reporter and the parties it names. When the volume, page, or court does not line up, the claim is flagged and the brief never inherits it.
