West Key Number System The West Key Number System¨ classifies American law into more than 400 topics - 100,000 subtopics – relating to persons, property, contracts, torts, crimes, remedies, and government accelerating your research by directing you to specific points of law. Case Synopses And Headnotes West case synopses and headnotes summarise the facts, issues, procedural history, holdings and disposition of a decision - information otherwise scattered throughout the opinion. Synopses and headnotes contain terms that may not have been used by the authoring judge, including terms of art and words that describe legally significant relationships among parties (e.g., landlord and tenant, husband and wife). As a result, a Westlaw search can retrieve relevant cases that an opinion-only search might miss. Annotated Statutes Statutory Credits show you citations to session laws from which a statute was derived. Further, historical and statutory notes reveal the history of a statute which may be significant in its construction and application. Notes of Decisions provides you with quick summaries of cases interpreting or applying the statute in question. See reverse for the content highlights. Your Westlaw International Account Manager can supply the complete, current list.
