Flags

In Westlaw, flags are used to indicate previous or pending legal decisions about a case or law.

A red flag indicates that this case is no longer good law for at least a portion of the law it contains.

A yellow flag indicates that the case has some negative history, but has not been reversed or overruled.

A Blue flag indicates that an appeal has been filed for this case.
