What is implicitly invalidated case law?
Traditional citators identify when a case has been explicitly invalidated by a subsequent ruling. However, they don’t warn when similar cases may have also been implicitly overruled or abrogated by subsequent new developments in the law.
KeyCite Overruling Risk, available exclusively on Westlaw Edge, leverages artificial intelligence to mark cases with an orange warning icon that have no direct citations pointing to their invalidity.
