[edit] Link to Manual of Style
There needs to be some way to get from here to Manual of Style (legal) and back. - maybe there should be some coordination between the two too. Doug. - DDHME 22:18, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] What a weird case to use as an example
Ehrlichman v. Sirica is a really weird case to use as an example because it is so obscure, and most people outside the U.S. would not know who those persons are. A superior, more internationally sensitive example would be one of the old English cases that all U.S., U.K., and Commonwealth lawyers know about, like Hadley v. Baxendale. --Coolcaesar (talk) 08:10, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
- I completely agree. I've never seen (or cited) this type of case--a case where the Chief Justice is acting as a Circuit Judge and yet the case is reported in the U.S. reporter. Also, according to the Bluebook, the parenthetical containing the judge/justice's name should appear after the date parenthetical. I'm going to rework this page. --LegalSwoop (talk) 17:01, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
