[edit] Added supreme court form on right side
New to editing wikipedia, but I added the court case table on the side, working of that from another case. All the infomation is correct, but I neglected to add the 'Previous History' or 'Citations' as I am unsure of the correct format.
- Thanks for adding that. I did some finishing work on it; see User:Postdlf/court case infobox for full instructions and another example on how to complete it. Postdlf 02:07, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
- Ah, just what I needed. Is there an easy way to find a list of citations? Or do you need access to lexisnexis/US court reporting? What is the etiquette for adding it to the list of boxed cases at you page? Ec- 02:05, May 19, 2005 (UTC)
Just a question... How was the case argued on Feb. 29 if 1819 is not a leap year? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.148.169.144 (talk • contribs).
- Good catch—it wasn't. The argument date in the article was changed from February 22 to February 29 by a vandal a couple weeks ago.[1] Thanks for noticing that! Postdlf 03:06, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Arguments
I hope somebody can help me. This case was argued before the Supreme court. The decision -- which is significant -- is posted in many places on the web. But I have not been able to find any listings of the arguments for either side. The atorneys for the bank and the state had to present clear concise legal arguments to the court for a decision to be made. They had to present oposing arguments -- not wrong arguments. Maryland argued a view which was considered valid by lower courts. The bank's arguments were struck down by the lower courts. I am wondering what those arguments were. Does anybody know of a site where the texts of the arguments in this case can be found? --Jason Palpatine 05:03, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
- I can't really answer your question per sé, but in general it is much more difficult to find things like full argument transcripts than the decisions. This is even more true for a case that likely took place before consistant court stenographing (a word?). It probably exists somewhere, but you most likely need a access to some sort of specialized print resources. --Ec- 03:52, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
- It may be better to see if any historians have written on the subject and summarize what they say—surely since it's such a well-known case, there is at least one scholarly book that discusses the various arguments that were made. --Delirium 18:02, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
