Legal AI. Made Defensible.

Q: Does professional liability insurance cover legal AI mistakes?

Many E&O and CGL policies do not automatically cover third-party AI liability. Carriers are adding ISO endorsements CG 40 47 and CG 40 48 that can exclude AI-related claims on renewal. Without auditable AI governance and verification, firms may effectively self-insure malpractice and sanctions risk.

Q: Do I own the system, or is it a subscription?

You own it. We deploy sovereign AI infrastructure inside your own cloud perimeter, built on open-source footprints your firm controls, rather than renting per-seat access to an external platform.

Q: Can one AI model verify another model's citations?

Not reliably. Generative models can produce plausible-sounding citations that never existed. Asking a second model to check the first often produces false confidence, not proof. Rule26 verifies against indexed court records deterministically, the same standard courts expect when citations are challenged.

Q: Does GhostCite replace Shepardizing or KeyCite?

No. GhostCite confirms that the building blocks of your brief actually exist in the public record, citations resolve in CourtListener, case names match, and quoted language appears in the opinion. It does not tell you whether a case is still good law, overruled, or negatively treated. For doctrinal validity, we recommend that firms continue to use Shepard's and KeyCite (or their existing citator) and treat GhostCite as the hallucination-detection layer in between AI drafting and a final citator check.

Q: Does GhostCite use AI?

Not for verification. GhostCite's primary verification is deterministic: it checks citations and quotes directly against CourtListener's indexed court records. No generative AI is involved in that step. When a deterministic lookup fails, GhostCite may use CourtListener's semantic search as a fallback. Semantic search uses embedding models to find cases by meaning, not exact text. It is not generative AI.

Q: What happens to text I paste into GhostCite?

We do not train models on your briefs. Guest mode does not save history; accounts store metadata for your audit trail only.

Frequently Asked.

How does Rule26 help firms govern AI use?

We assess exposure, build enforceable AI policies, train attorneys, and deploy verification at the perimeter. The goal is defensible workflows, not more software subscriptions.

Does professional liability insurance cover legal AI mistakes?

Many E&O policies don’t cover AI liability. CG 40 47 and CG 40 48 can exclude AI claims at renewal. Without documented governance, you self-insure.

Do I own the system, or is it a subscription?

You own it. Sovereign infrastructure in your cloud, not per-seat rental.

Can one AI model verify another model’s citations?

Not reliably. A second model often produces false confidence, not proof. Rule26 verifies against indexed court records deterministically, the standard courts expect when citations are challenged.

Does GhostCite replace Shepardizing or KeyCite?

No. GhostCite confirms citations exist in court records, names, reporters, quoted language. Good-law treatment stays with Shepard’s and KeyCite. It demonstrates our verification approach, not a replacement citator.

Does GhostCite use AI?

Not for verification. Citations are checked deterministically against CourtListener. No generative AI.

If formatting blocks a match, semantic search may run as a fallback, labeled clearly. You remain responsible for final verification.

What happens to text I paste into GhostCite?

We don’t train on your briefs. Guest mode saves nothing. Accounts keep metadata for your audit trail. See our Privacy Policy.
