Westlaw users may see discrepancies in old and new key numbers as they release new/revised headnotes for the 2009 Headnote Reclassification starting late Friday evening (after 10:00 pm) and ending on Sunday (February 27 - March 1).
Two new topics will be added: PRIVILEGED COMMUNICATIONS AND CONFIDENTIALITY and PROTECTION OF ENDANGERED PERSONS.

Dozens of other areas of the Key Number System have been given minor improvements, particularly in the topics COUNTIES, CRIMINAL LAW, INDIANS, INFANTS, NEGLIGENCE, and PROCESS.
