More on how this was screened

Gibbons, Inc. Most of the other opinions cite International Woodworkers only as the decision that overruled portions of Jones v. Diamond, Copper Liquor III, or related precedent; their adverse history is treatment by International Woodworkers, not treatment of it. A few passages contained no citation to the case and used the nearby treatment language for unrelated 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.

213 later cases cite International Woodworkers of America, AFL-CIO and Its Local No. 5-376 v. Champion International Corporation; 96 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.
