Pro-tips

[edit]
  • A United States Reports case citation (e.g., "123 U.S. 456") is not a unique identifier for a case. It's a unique identifier for most cases, but for some older cases, there were sometimes multiple cases on a single page. So be careful about this. One day we'll have a category or a link to where you can find ambiguous case citations. One day.
  • Lexis or WestLaw or whatever are the best sources of information about a case. Usually any university will have access to the academic version, which will always include U.S. Supreme Court cases (and usually other federal appeals court cases as well). If you know someone who's currently enrolled in a university (even part-time), talk to them. Remote access to these services is almost always possible (encouraged, even).
  • If you need an argue date or decision date for a case in volume 2 to volume 107, you can try this report from the U.S. Supreme Court ("datesofdecisions.pdf").
