More on how this was screened

Many later opinions describe Grimwood as abrogated on other grounds by Mikkelsen v. Public Utility District No. 1 of Kittitas County. The Washington Supreme Court's Mikkelsen opinion was read directly: it says Grimwood had already treated the replacement element as nonabsolute and endorses that reasoning. The later opinions continue to apply Grimwood's other rules. Two retrieved opinions contain no identifiable citation to Grimwood.

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.

49 later cases cite Grimwood v. University of Puget Sound, Inc.; 49 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.
