A person or tool that cites or makes citations; in legal contexts, a book or database that lists how laws have been cited in court decisions.
From Latin citator (one who summons) derived from citare. In modern usage, especially in legal fields, it refers to citation tracking systems and the people who use them.
Legal citators are like detective tools that show which judges have cited specific laws and what they said about them—they let lawyers see the entire history of how a law has been interpreted and applied in court.
