CiteRight is a real Canadian legal-tech product focused on a narrower and more credible job than generic legal research: helping litigation teams save cases as they research, work with those authorities inside Microsoft Word, verify and format citations, assemble books of authorities, and get submission-ready materials out the door faster. The current public product line combines the long-standing citation and drafting workflow with newer AI case-summary features under AI Insights. The strongest proof comes from the vendor’s detailed pricing and security pages, named law-firm references such as BLG and Gowling WLG, and third-party coverage documenting the product’s litigation-drafting niche rather than a broad all-purpose research database.

Workflows
Based on practitioner evidence, Citeright is used in these workflows:
What practitioners struggle with
Real frustrations from legal professionals — the problems Citeright addresses (or should address). Sourced from practitioner reviews, Reddit threads, and case studies.
Documents scattered across email, shared drives, attorney desktops, and filing cabinets — paralegal can't find the key document when it's needed for court or a deposition
Litigation team needs to verify every citation in a 40-page brief before filing — manually checking each case reference against the original source takes a full day, and a single bad citation can result in sanctions or a lost motion
When my litigation team is revising a brief up to the filing deadline, I want the book of authorities, pinpoint citations, and court-ready supporting materials to rebuild themselves as the draft changes, so I am not manually reordering 200 authorities at 11 p.m. and risking a rejected filing.
Where it fits in your workflow
Before Citeright
A litigation or appellate team is researching cases across CanLII, Westlaw, Quicklaw, and similar sources while drafting a factum, brief, motion, or other court submission in Microsoft Word.
After Citeright
Saved authorities, checked citations, and assembled books of authorities flow into a court-compliant filing package, while the saved research library remains reusable for future drafts and related matters.
Integrations & hand-offs
Case research in external databases -> save and organize authorities in CiteRight -> draft and cite inside Microsoft Word -> verify citations and generate authorities materials -> hand off a filing-ready package to paralegals, litigation support, or the filing team. AI Insights now sits on top of that flow to summarize cases faster, but the core workflow is still drafting and filing support.
