Discuss how the status flags and stars in KeyCite can assist you in your research when checking citations.

KeyCite uses case status flags to indicate when there is case history that should be investigated.
Depending on the color of the flag, you are warned that a case is not good law for at least one of its points, that the case has some negative history but its holding has not been reversed, or that the case has been overruled. Stars added to the citation of a citing case show the extent to which your case is discussed in the citing case. For example, four stars would indicate that the citing case contains an extended discussion of your case, and one star indicates the reference is brief.
