Courts are sanctioning lawyers for AI-invented cases and quotes, and the penalties keep growing. REGULA never lets the AI cite from memory. Every case and statute is fetched live and shown to you with proof.
The Risk Is Real and Growing
Sanctions for fake citations are up more than twenty-fold.
Penalties have climbed from $5,000 to a record $110,000, with referrals to state bars along the way. Yet the number of cases keeps rising.

How REGULA Stops It
Every citation is checked before it reaches you.
Picture the judge holding your brief: “Counsel, I can't find this case.” With REGULA, an unverified citation is flagged at the draft, not discovered on the bench.
Draft · Motion to Suppress
An officer may not prolong a completed traffic stop to conduct a dog sniff absent reasonable suspicion. Rodriguez v. United States, 575 U.S. 348 (2015). Here the stop was complete at 02:14. State v. Whitlock, 412 P.3d 907 (Wash. 2024).
Every citation, checked before it reaches you
No source retrieved means a banner, not a guess. Illustrative example; the flagged citation is invented for this mockup.
Built to Be Verifiable
Retrieval, not recall.
The structure of the platform, not a promise in a footer, is what keeps invented authority off your screen.
The AI never cites from memory
Every case and statute is fetched live from real legal sources. What you see cited is what was found.
Empty search? You are told
When nothing is retrieved, a banner says so, independent of whatever the model wrote above it. No silent guesses.
Proof under every answer
The authority actually retrieved is listed beneath each answer, so you can open it and read it before it carries your name.
You review and sign everything
REGULA drafts at your direction. Nothing leaves without your signature, and your license stays yours.
“What does the Fourth Amendment require before an officer may extend a traffic stop to run a dog sniff?”
Authority Actually Retrieved
If nothing is retrieved, the platform says so in a banner, independent of whatever the model wrote. There is no path by which a citation reaches your screen from the model’s own memory.
