More on how this was screened

Nearby references to abrogation and overruling described immunity exceptions, later Supreme Court doctrine affecting other cases, or unrelated authorities; they did not adversely treat Laskaris. The case name and citation were verified from another copy of the reported decision.

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.

240 later cases cite Laskaris v. Thornburgh; 82 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.

Every one of the 82 flagged citations was read, and each turned out to be something other than adverse treatment: a routine application, a party's argument the court rejected, or the case itself discussing older law. That reading is the finding this page exists to report.
