Semester Cases (as edited for use when reading the original opinions. All page numbers refer to the United States Reports editions available on Justia.com, Findlaw.com, and LEXIS-NEXIS.)

For Justia and Findlaw, use the following URL formulas:

  1. Using Baker v. Carr, 369 U.S. 186 (1962) as the example:
  2. Findlaw.com: http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-supreme-court/369/186.html
  3. Justia.com: supreme.justia.com/us/369/186/case.html
  4. Or the Justia index: http://supreme.justia.com/us/

Justia and Findlaw are comparable sites, though the Findlaw editions of the cases appear less cluttered than the Justia edition and the LEXIS-NEXIS edition. The more recent cases are also available on the official Supreme Court site and the Cornell University site. You may also use the date of the decision to track down the decision in the Lawyer's Edition, BNA's U.S. Law Week, or any other edition of Supreme Court decisions that you may use. If the particular case is not available on the net, toddle on over to Reinsch Library and book it the old fashioned way.

Where only particular pages of the opinion, as noted in the United States Reports citation, are assigned, the general rule is to begin with the first complete paragraph on the first page of the assignment and to end with the last complete paragraph on the final page of the assignment. Sometimes, following this rule will have you read a paragraph or two that is not strictly relevant, but the extra reading will not hurt you, I promise. Where no particular pages are noted in the United States Reports citation, please read the whole opinion—i.e., the majority and separate opinions. Where the link is to a Supreme Justia site, this is noted right after the date of the opinion in the case citation. THIS IS STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS!
