More on how this was screened

Many later opinions cite Young's summary judgment rule and append an “overruled on other grounds” notation pointing to the Washington Supreme Court's 1996 decision in the same litigation, 130 Wn.2d 160. That decision was read directly. It affirms the prior dismissal of the medical defendants and does not say it overrules the 1989 decision. The notation alone does not support an adverse entry.

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.

56 later cases cite Young v. Key Pharmaceuticals, Inc.; 56 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.
