Table of Authorities Now in Westlaw Next

Table of Authorities provides a list of cases cited in your case.   Each cited case has a KeyCite flag to show whether it has any negative treatment.  It is possible a case cited in your case was overruled and  your case may no longer be valid for that proposition of law.  The negative treatment of a case relied upon by your case may not be disclosed by simply Keyciting your case.  Thus, the Table of Authorities allows you to quickly determine whether you are relying on a case with a hidden weakness.
