Every flagged citation to this case has been read, and none of them overrules, limits, or questions it. Stone v. University of Maryland Medical System Corporation remains good law: all 78 flagged citations have been read, and none adversely treated its requirements for sealing judicial records. The later opinions applied Stone's public access framework; references to a right being “abrogated” described the narrow circumstances in which access may be restricted, not a change to Stone itself.
Every treatment on this page is written from the citing opinion itself, with a verbatim quote, never copied from a commercial citator. A citation flagged by our screen but not shown here was read and found not to weaken this case.

78 later cases cite Stone v. University of Maryland Medical System Corporation; 78 of those citations sat close to treatment language and were flagged for reading, and all of them have been read. Citations that did not sit near treatment language were not flagged and were not read one by one, so a court that weakened this case without using any of that language would not appear here.
