What a cite check covers
For a case: the reporter cite resolves to an opinion, the case name matches, the court and year match and the pin cite falls inside the opinion. For a statute: the title and section exist in the current U.S. Code or CFR.
Why a Westlaw citation checker is not the same thing
Many attorneys search for a Westlaw citation checker because they want to know whether a cite is good law. CaseCode answers the earlier question: is the citation real and accurate. It shows later opinions that cite a case, but it is not a replacement for a citator.
