# Legora To Launch Ontology + AI Native Citator

> Legora, one of the fast-growing crop of legal AI startups, is expanding from drafting into the harder territory of legal research with what it calls a full ontology of law paired with an AI-native citator. A citator is the tool lawyers rely on to check whether a case is still good law, and building one that an AI can reason over rather than just search is a meaningful step up in ambition. The move follows Legora's recent tie-ups with Qura and Wexler, and signals where the legal AI race is heading. The easy wins of summarizing documents are giving way to a fight over structured, trustworthy knowledge, the kind of foundation that determines whether a firm can actually rely on a model's answer in front of a court. For an industry still rattled by cases of hallucinated citations, an ontology-backed citator is a direct response to the trust problem. Whether Legora can deliver accuracy at the standard lawyers demand is the open question, but the direction, toward verifiable structure instead of loose generation, is the right one.
