> Im genuinely curuous, how does this work in regular law? Does anyone ever check all the citations, etc? Yes. At higher levels (state supreme courts and above), there are staff checking every single citation. It's often checked in a paper copy of the original source, which in rare cases could be a book from e.g. the 1700s.
