Colour choices

[edit]

I dislike the colour of this version. If it's distictiveness from the American case law we're going for, why not maple leaf red. At any rate, the blue was stronger and more attractive. CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 05:14, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, but the reason I went for this colour is because it fits with wikipedia's colour scheme that is predominantly pastel coloured. The bright solid colours look out of place. I'm not particularly attached to the current colour, but I do prefer a colour scheme that matches better than the bright ones. --PullUpYourSocks 05:25, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think all I'm going after is a template that is more in line with the rest of wikipedia, nothing more. Just something that resembles the main page templates or something like Template:Infobox_Military_Conflict. As time goes on, I find the old SCOTUS and SCC casebox look out of place and inconsistence with the average infobox. Uniformity I think is key. --PullUpYourSocks 05:31, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I've gone back to the original colours. It doesn't look nearly as bad as I thought. I believe it was the formatting that was setting me off most. Let me know if you think this is acceptible. I'd rather find consensus than perfection. --PullUpYourSocks 12:47, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template elements

[edit]

I'm considering whether to add paragraph numbers next to the name of each author. I tried it out at R. v. Collins. If anyone has any opinion on this let me know. It seems like it might be useful. --PullUpYourSocks 14:47, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fields

[edit]

Is there a reason why we have fields that aren't defined by the template (see, e.g. heard-date). Am I doing something wrong? I can't get that field to show up in my box.--Bepa (talk) 19:39, 19 January 2010 (UTC) Nevermind. I see it now.--Bepa (talk) 19:40, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Membership imprecision

[edit]

The court membership is problematic when a judge is replaced mid-year. I noticed this in R v Mann, where the majority decision was written by Frank Iacobucci, who was replaced with Rosalie Abella latr in 2004; his name is absent from the composition section of the infobox, and Abella's is present. Is there any recourse for this, so that the article may have the correct composition? 206.186.37.200 (talk) 15:04, 17 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
