Check your sources
Check the documents and passages behind an answer.
Crito retrieves source text. Your assistant uses that text to write an answer. Review the sources to check that they support the answer.
Open the cited decision
Follow the source link and check the case name, citation, court, and date. Read the passage that supports the statement, including the text around it.
If the answer has no source link, ask your assistant for one. Some stored cases have no source URL. If you cannot retrieve the source, treat the statement as unverified.
Check paragraph references
A reference such as “at para 34” points to a numbered paragraph in the decision. Check that paragraph in the source.
Some copies have missing paragraphs or no printed paragraph numbers. A text block counted from the start of a document is not a verified paragraph reference. Use another copy of the decision if you need to check it.
Check the legislation version
Open the official source and check the title, jurisdiction, section, and version date. Crito is designed to retrieve current text. An older decision may discuss different wording.
If you need the version from a past date, check the source site's version history. Crito has no date filter for legislation.
Read related cases in context
Crito can find cases that cite a decision and show the surrounding passages. It does not label a decision as followed, distinguished, or overruled. Any such assessment in the answer comes from your assistant's interpretation.
Check the cited passages before you rely on that assessment. A missing result may reflect a gap in coverage.
