West Key Number Changes

More than 300,000 case headnotes received new West Key Numbers as a result of several significant classification changes.

Two new digest topics were created:

• Privileged Communications and Confidentiality "encompasses privilege issues arising in discovery and at trial and contains expanded classifications covering attorney-client privilege, physician-patient privilege, and executive privilege"
• Protection of Endangered Persons covers "restraining orders and other protection from domestic violence, harassment, and stalking; guardian ad litem appointments; agency investigations and liabilities; and criminal and civil liability"

Four other topics have been completely revised:

• Convicts
• Disorderly Conduct
• Prisons
• Products Liability
