Baze v. Rees

[edit]

Currently, this redirects to a short article about the murderer who is underwise non noteworthy. This makes the link completely inapproative here; links here should be to cases. I think the redirect is going to need to be removed and an article about this case created. Jon 21:33, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I've gone ahead and replaced the redirect with an empty stub article. Jon 20:29, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Too confusing text

[edit]

One of the pending cases summary states "does a criminal defendant lose his Sixth Amendment right to confront witnesses against him when he procures the absence of that witness by wrongdoing, as when statements of a murder victim are admitted against the murder defendant?" Could somebody who understands this please translate that legalese into English? Thanks. Jon (talk) 17:53, 25 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Split off upcoming cases

[edit]

I'd like to split off the upcoming cases. Properly kept up to date, that information can have a busy edit history. It is also topically distinct, in that Court-watchers may take a particular interest in pending cases only. That Court watchers may also be especially interested in cases recently decided by the Court militates somewhat against a split, but I don't think it outweighs the reasons in favor. I'm thinking either List of pending [USSC] cases or List of cases pending before the [USSC]. Thoughts?--Chaser (talk) 21:47, 24 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, can you please go ahead and do that? Can you also help me with these dead links? It looks like Cornell Law changed its URL so now the regular way of linking to an unreported case doesn't work anymore. Thanks, Papillonderecherche (talk) 16:57, 8 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I am going to move this section now. Papillonderecherche (talk) 21:59, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Case to add

[edit]

I don't have the experience needed to edit the table, but Snyder v. Phelps needs to be added. DavidSSabb (talk) 14:44, 27 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done! There appear to be many notable cases missing. I'm going to attempt to add what I can over the next few weeks. Papillonderecherche (talk) 15:06, 21 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What order are the cases in?

[edit]

The cases are more or less in chronological order, but not quite. They also don't seem to be in order of case number. I am planning to fix this, unless someone believes they're in some other more appropriate order. Papillonderecherche (talk) 15:09, 21 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nature of list

[edit]

Is this list supposed to be comprehensive? Or is it just a list of notable Supreme Court cases by the Roberts Court? If the former, it needs drastic updating. If the latter, it should be renamed. Does anyone have any opinions on this? Papillonderecherche (talk) 19:01, 22 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've concluded this is supposed to be a comprehensive list. As such, once I add the hundreds of cases that are still missing from past terms (plus the many more that could plausibly be decided by the Roberts Court in the years to come), it will be an extremely long article. We may wish to create individual pages for each term. Papillonderecherche (talk) 15:11, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
