Verifying that your cases are still valid is an integral part of legal research. And since the legal standing of cases can change over time, using a trusted citation tool like KeyCite can make this task faster and easier. Available on all Westlaw plans, KeyCite is a comprehensive, powerful citation service. 

You’ve likely seen KeyCite status flags at the top of documents as you work in Westlaw. Generally, they indicate that the case you’re seeing has had some negative treatment. Different flags mean different treatments, such as being overruled, superseded, or not followed by another court.
