More on how this was screened

The one confirmed treatment is listed below; the other opinions applied Glasser positively, reported later conflict-of-counsel doctrine, or used nearby adverse language for other authorities.

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.

10,035 later cases cite Glasser v. United States; 146 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.
