Parentheticals Instructions

What This Tool Does

ClerkCheck generates Bluebook-compliant parenthetical descriptions for your citations. Provide a source case and the proposition it supports, and the engine produces multiple parenthetical options tailored to your argument.

01. Source Case (Required)

Upload the PDF of the case you are citing. The engine reads the full opinion to understand its holdings, reasoning, and factual context before generating parentheticals.

02. Case Excerpt (Optional)

Paste a specific passage from the opinion — a key holding, rule statement, or factual finding. This focuses the generator on the exact portion of the case most relevant to your argument, producing more precise parentheticals.

03. Your Proposition (Required)

Paste the sentence or argument this citation supports in your brief. The engine uses your proposition to frame the parenthetical so it directly reinforces your point, rather than generically summarizing the case.

04. Review & Edit Results

ClerkCheck returns multiple parenthetical options ranked by relevance. Click Edit on any option to refine the language, then Copy to paste it into your document.
