Supported Jurisdictions in TOAgen
Version 1.0

A practical overview of TOAgen’s current jurisdiction coverage and how jurisdiction-aware citation detection works.

TOAgen uses jurisdiction-aware citation detection to improve its identification and marking of legal citations in Microsoft Word documents. Instead of treating every document as though all citation patterns are equally likely, TOAgen evaluates the document to determine which jurisdictions are most relevant and applies more targeted citation-detection logic within that document’s actual citation environment.

What jurisdiction-aware citation detection means

TOAgen does not rely on a one-size-fits-all citation engine. It examines the document itself to determine the likely jurisdictional context, then uses that context to improve its detection and marking of citations. This helps TOAgen focus on the citation forms most likely to matter in the document and supports a more practical, precise workflow for legal drafting.

Supported jurisdictions in version 1.0

Version 1.0 of TOAgen currently supports citation detection and marking logic for the following jurisdictions:

  • Arizona
  • California
  • Florida
  • Georgia
  • Illinois
  • Maryland
  • Massachusetts
  • Minnesota
  • Missouri
  • New Jersey
  • New York
  • North Carolina
  • Ohio
  • Pennsylvania
  • Texas
  • Virginia

Why this matters

Legal documents often reflect one dominant jurisdiction, but they may also cite authorities from other jurisdictions. A generic citation engine can create unnecessary noise, reduce precision, or miss opportunities to prioritize the most relevant citation patterns. TOAgen’s jurisdiction-aware approach helps it operate more intelligently within the document's actual citation environment, making the marking process more targeted and better aligned with real legal workflows.

What happens when a citation falls outside current coverage?

TOAgen is designed to avoid simply missing citations when a document contains authorities from a jurisdiction that version 1.0 does not yet fully cover. If TOAgen encounters a citation from an unsupported jurisdiction, it still attempts to mark it usefully rather than leaving it unmarked.

Useful fallback marking

In many cases, TOAgen can still give the user a practical starting point for the citation. That means the user can quickly edit the marked citation and complete the full citation text manually rather than create the citation mark from scratch.

Section-symbol fallback for statutes

This is especially useful for statute citations that include a section symbol. Even when TOAgen does not yet fully support that jurisdiction, it can still often mark the section-symbol citation and the associated statutory reference, which makes cleanup much faster.

Unsupported coverage does not mean unsupported workflow

A citation that falls outside current jurisdiction coverage does not stop the workflow. TOAgen still helps users move forward by marking the citation as usefully as possible and then giving them tools to edit, expand, or refine the result. This balance between automation and user control is an important part of TOAgen’s design philosophy.

Built for practical accuracy, not overclaiming

TOAgen does not claim universal jurisdiction coverage in version 1.0. The goal is not to overstate coverage. The goal is to provide strong support for a defined set of jurisdictions, improve precision through document context, and still provide useful fallback marking when a citation falls outside current coverage.

Who should review this resource?

This resource is especially helpful for:

  • firms evaluating TOAgen’s current jurisdiction coverage
  • legal teams working in one or more of the supported jurisdictions
  • evaluators who want to understand how TOAgen handles mixed-jurisdiction documents
  • firms comparing TOAgen’s practical workflow approach with more generic citation handling

Conclusion

TOAgen’s jurisdiction-aware citation detection helps it work more intelligently inside real legal documents. By identifying the likely primary jurisdiction, detecting additional jurisdictions throughout the document, and still providing useful fallback marking when a citation falls outside current coverage, TOAgen supports a more practical and resilient citation-marking workflow in Microsoft Word.
