Talk:Complete list of United States Supreme Court cases

Untitled

I am confused as to how there can be no volumes 1-4. If they don't exist, why didn't we just call volume 5 volume 1? Apofisu 20:08, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

The court has had cases prior to 1801 (Chisholm v. Georgia, for example), so those volumes do exist, but the wikipages for them just haven't been created yet.--Chaser T 06:14, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Note, however, that many of the cases in volumes 1-4 (Dallas's reporter) were state and local cases in Philadelphia, as Dallas covered all the courts there. (There were no Supreme Court cases in volume 1 at all.) The non-Supreme Court links should probably be removed at some point. 216.165.3.50 04:19, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm thinking that it might be useful to have links for each case to the case itself on findlaw. --Cdogsimmons 21:49, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

FindLaw links could be provided along, however, it should be noted that FindLaw does not contain volumes 1-149, only from 150-544 (and any recent cases). So only cases after volume 149 would have working links. Cheers. --MZMcBride 20:25, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

If anyone's bored enough to do this

I'm thinking that there must be a lot of case articles that this list doesn't link to correctly because of minor deviations in the case name (abbreviations, etc.). If someone has some time on their hands they could just go through the list and do a google search to see if there are articles and create redirect links. Just something to do if you're bored that needs doing.--Cdogsimmons 20:47, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

I've also noticed that these lists would work a lot better if they linked back to the main page and to the prior and subsequent volumes. It's a big project but probably worth doing. --Cdogsimmons 19:47, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
