The following information is about Headnote.
Headnote Defined
An editorial enhancement appearing at the beginning of a reported decision, which consists of summaries that state a decision's principles or ruling. Headnotes are not written by judges and are not part of the opinion itself, rather they are written by the publisher’s editors. In the West system, the headnote includes the topic and key numbers and it contains the same language as the digest summary of the case. The West digest system provides a compilation of these headnotes by subject.
