Semester Cases (as edited for use when reading the original opinions. All page numbers refer to the United States Reports editions available on Findlaw.com, Justia.com, LEXIS-NEXIS, and lexisOne.com.)
For Findlaw and Justia, use the following URL formulas:
These cases are also available in the library and on the internet through the use of one or more of the following: Findlaw.com, Lexis-Nexis or lexisone.com, justia.com, and, for the more recent cases, 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. Please email me if any of the links do not work!
