Discuss the advantages of using key numbers and headnotes published by West when researching and reading cases

What will be an ideal response?


A headnote is a section of a case opinion including specific points of law not written by the court, but rather by a commercial publisher. A key number is a specific numerical identifier next to each headnote that correlates to a particular topic that can be found in any West publication. These editorial enhancements help researchers save time when reading cases and can help find similar cases with the same key number.
