Cases summarized — by judges
- Westlaw: Summarizes cases by an anonymous editor.
- Casetext: Summarizes cases straight from the judges themselves.
Case treatment flags — even more detailed
- Westlaw: Typical citator (red, green, and yellow flags) and get orange flags with an expensive upgrade to WestlawEdge
- Casetext: All the same flags with orange flags included. Orange flags to tell you when a case hasn’t been overturned, but relies on one that was. We also go beyond flags and have concise summaries of important treatment.
