WestCheck

Set KeyCite Limits

Use KeyCite Limits in WestCheck to filter case and statute results by category, helping you focus on the most relevant KeyCite information.
Use KeyCite Limits in the WestCheck tool to restrict your KeyCite results for cases and statutes. Limiting your results is helpful if you are interested only in specific categories of KeyCite information.
You can set KeyCite Limits to apply to all citations by setting and saving the Limits in WestCheck profiles. You can also set KeyCite Limits for individual citations using the
Limits
 link under the
KC
 button once you extract a citation list.
