Case Briefs: Provide Flag Indicators for Bad Law + Links to Relevant Cases that Overturned/Built-Upon the Ruling

Similar to WestLaw/Lexis's flag system, providing flag indicators would inform you when a case is now considered bad law, which is helpful for studying because it makes clear whether the rule of law is still binding today. As for links to relevant cases that built-upon/overturned the ruling: this would be helpful for understanding how the case plays into the broader picture - provides a more holsitic understanding of its relevance at large.

Hey! Matt here, Quimbee's CEO. You voted on this idea for a good law indicator. Can you please tell us more about why you want this "good law" indicator? How would you use it? What would you like to see in the interface? So my understanding is that you want a citator (like what Lexis and Westlaw have... yellow/red flags if a case has had negative treatment). Is that correct? We're interested in building it, but just need more info. Thanks for your help! :)

Matt Sellers: Yes! Exactly like Lexis or Westlaw flag citators. It would be nice to know if we're studying old case law or modern law when we apply it on exams.
