This week, add one line under each authority.

Six fields, nothing more: the authority, the paragraph anchor, the operative sentence quoted from the decision, one sentence in your own words on what that paragraph holds, a ratio or obiter marker, and your initials with the date.

Run it on one memo. Not the whole library, not the archive — the next memo that goes out.

You will find out fast which authorities you actually read and which ones you recognised. The ones where you cannot write the fourth field are the ones to check before filing, because the case being real proves nothing about the proposition.

Try it on your next memo — how many of the six fields does your current template already have?

Ilan sa citations ninyo ang may pinpoint anchor?

Kung hindi mo masagot agad, dun mismo nagtatago ang misgrounded citation — totoong kaso, tamang citation, pero hindi hawak ng passage ang proposisyon.

Sa LegalQuest, ganito ang binubuo namin para sa Philippine law firms: grounding line kada authority, paragraph anchor, named reviewer bago mag-file, at audit trail na nakatago sa case file — prompt, petsa, output version, edits. Naka-align sa A.M. No. 25-11-28-SC at sa CPRA duties ninyo sa competence, supervision at confidentiality.

Kung gusto ninyong makita kung paano ito tumakbo sa aktwal na research workflow ninyo, mag-message lang kayo para sa isang walkthrough.

Here is where the extra twenty minutes actually goes.

Say a memo cites eight authorities. Illustrative, not a real matter.

First pass: open each decision to the anchored paragraph. Not the headnote, not a summary. The paragraph.

Second pass: the reviewer writes one sentence on what that paragraph holds, in their own words. This is where the disagreements surface — two lawyers read the same passage and describe it differently, and the argument that follows is the real work.

The trade-off is honest. The pass slows the draft down. It is also the only step that catches a real case cited correctly for a proposition it does not carry.

One rule we keep: the person who reads it writes the line. Never copy-paste. That habit is what we build into workflows at LegalQuest.

Kailan ka huling nagbasa ng buong decision, hindi summary?

Hindi komportable ang tanong, pero may punto.

Sa AI Caravan lecture niya, binanggit ni SAJ Leonen ang research sa neuroplasticity at sinabi: ‘What you do not use, you will lose.’ Kung ang tool na palagi ang nagbabasa, nagbubuod at nagsusulat, unti-unti mawawala ang skill na pang-detect ng mali.

At dun mismo kailangan yung skill — sa misgrounded citation. Tama ang case, tama ang citation, pero hindi hawak ng passage ang proposisyon mo. Walang search na huhuli nun. Mambabasa lang.

Isang decision kada linggo, basahin nang buo. Yun muna.

Ilan sa team ninyo ang nagbabasa pa ng buong decision bago gumamit ng authority?

A brief with 14 authorities. Three had no anchor.

Illustrative example only — not a real matter, firm or lawyer.

Before: associates checked that each case existed, then pasted the citation. All 14 passed. Nobody wrote down which paragraph carried the proposition.

After: the firm added one rule — a grounding line per authority, with a paragraph anchor and a sentence in the reviewer's own words. Three of the 14 could not be written. The cases were real and correctly cited; the passages held something narrower than the brief claimed.

Those three were dropped before filing, not defended at the hearing.

If you ran that rule on your last brief, how many of your authorities would survive it?

Kaya mo bang ipaliwanag ang draft mo six months from now?

Yan ang totoong test ng audit trail. Hindi paperwork yan — memory yan.

Sa grounding pass, apat lang ang itinatabi kada authority: ang prompt, ang petsa, ang paragraph anchor, at kung sino ang nagbasa ng buong decision. Limang minuto habang sariwa pa. Pagdating ng hearing, imposible nang i-reconstruct.

Kasi ang misgrounded citation, walang sintomas. Tama ang case, tama ang citation, mali lang ang hawak ng passage. Kapag walang record, wala kang mababalikan para makita kung saan nagkamali.

Sa firm ninyo, saan nakatago ang research trail — sa case file, o sa chat thread?

Myth: the Judiciary's AI rules stop at court personnel.

They do not.

A.M. No. 25-11-28-SC, approved by the Supreme Court En Banc on 18 February 2026, applies to members of the Judiciary, court officials and employees, lawyers appearing before the courts, and third-party contractors. If you appear, you are covered.

What is specific to court personnel is the tool restriction: they may not use AI tools unless approved by the Court, and at present the only approved tool is Scriptix, a voice-to-text transcription tool used by court stenographers.

For firms, the binding layer is the CPRA — competence, supervision, confidentiality. The IBP has issued no AI-specific guidance, and none is needed for the duty to attach.

Has your firm written down which tools are allowed, and for what?

Sino ang pumipirma sa AI-assisted draft ninyo?

Hindi yung tool. Ikaw.

Under the CPRA, supervision means the output becomes your own work product the moment lumabas ito na may pangalan mo. Hindi depensa ang ‘galing yan sa AI.’ At sa ilalim ng A.M. No. 25-11-28-SC, approved ng En Banc noong 18 February 2026, support tool ang AI — hindi decision-maker, at hindi puwedeng maging sole basis.

Kaya bago mag-file: sino ang nagbukas ng buong decision? Sino ang nagsulat ng grounding line? Nakatala ba kung kailan at sino?

Kapag walang pangalan sa tabi ng check, walang nangyaring check.

Sa inyo, paano nakadokumento ang sign-off bago lumabas ang pleading?

Yan ang klase ng workflow na tinutulungan naming buuin sa LegalQuest.

If the case exists, do I still read the whole decision?

Yes — and the pinpoint passage twice.

A fabricated citation is caught by a search. A misgrounded one is not: the case is real, the citation is correct, and the proposition simply is not in the text. That is the second error SAJ Leonen described in his 12 September 2026 lecture, and his concern was the chain after it — one wrong reading cited forward until, in his words, ‘What is wrong becomes a whole doctrine.’

So the test is not whether the case exists. It is whether that paragraph holds what your sentence claims. Ratio or obiter. Carried or merely echoed.

What is your firm's rule on pinpoint citations for AI-assisted research?

Totoo ang kaso. Tama ang citation. Mali pa rin.

Ito yung pangalawang error na binanggit ni SAJ Leonen sa AI Caravan lecture niya sa Ateneo de Naga noong 12 September 2026: ‘The case exists, the citation is correct, but the authority it interprets does not support the proposition.’

Yung fabricated case, madaling mahuli — wala sa E-Library, patay agad. Pero yung misgrounded? Pasado sa quick check, pasado sa associate, tapos gagamitin pa ng iba sa susunod na pleading.

Kaya sa grounding pass, isang linya lang kada authority: ano talaga ang hawak ng paragraph na yun, hindi kung ano ang gusto nating ipahawak dito.

Sa practice ninyo, sino ang huling nagbabasa ng buong decision bago mag-file?
