History & Explanatory Phrases
What later courts did to a decision, and the words that tie one source to another.
History phrases: what a higher court did to the decision you cite, in the same case. Treatment phrases: what a later case or statute did to its point (14.8). Explanatory phrases link two sources. No phrase shows a case’s current status, weight or citability.
Texts: how many of the 34,896 opinion texts in our research set match the phrase’s pattern, as of Oct. 13, 2026 (recount Oct. 14, 2026: no change), the CONVENTION basis for each form not marked HOUSE. A text is not a case, the set is a sample, one text bears a later feed date (Oct. 20, 2026), and patterns overlap and catch prose: never add counts. Listed: ten or more texts, or use in a chapter or rule. Glosses are HOUSE wording; UNRESOLVED: no meaning tied to a rule.
