Possibly the most important case in recent years. the decision the background the briefs trivia ... press contact Monday, June 6, 2005 The Supreme Court handed down its decision today against Raich. The vote was 6-3 to reverse the 9th Circuit with the decision written by Stevens. O'Connor, Renquist, and Thomas dissented. We would do well to recall how James Madison, the father of the Constitution, described our system of joint sovereignty to the people of New York: "The powers delegated by the proposed constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. . . . The powers reserved to the several States will extend toall the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State." The Federalist No. 45, pp. 292[^]293 (C. Rossiter ed. 1961). - from the dissent by Justice O'Connor We do note, however, the presence of another avenue of relief. As the Solicitor General confirmed during oral argument, the statute authorizes procedures for the reclassification of Schedule I drugs. But perhaps even more important than these legal avenues is the democratic process, in which the voices of voters allied with these respondents may one day be heard in the halls of Congress.

Extractions: June 2000 In a long-awaited decision confronting the intersection of federalism and foreign relations, the Supreme Court has struck down a Massachusetts law restricting state purchases from companies doing business in Burma. The Court's June 19 ruling in Crosby v. National Foreign Trade Council was on narrow, non-constitutional grounds. Although the decision puts similar state and local anti-Burma measures at least temporarily on ice, it is unlikely to emerge as the final word on foreign policymaking by state and local actors. Crosby considered a 1996 Massachusetts law that in most instances barred state entities from purchasing goods or services from companies (foreign and domestic) broadly defined as doing business in Burma. The law provoked protests from Japan and the European Union, who subsequently challenged the measure in the World Trade Organization as inconsistent with U.S. obligations under the WTO Agreement on Government Procurement. Congress soon after adopted federal sanctions against Burma.

Extractions: Prepared by Peggy Jarrett for LIS 545: Government Publications. The word "case" is often used interchangeably with "opinion" or "decision." It is the written resolution of the issues in dispute, written by a judge or a panel of judges. It is not a jury verdict. Juries decide facts; judges decide law. Cases come from courts. A generic court system consists of (1) trial courts, (2) intermediate appellate courts, and (3) the appellate court of last resort, which is often called the "Supreme Court." There are also specialized federal courts (Bankruptcy, Tax, etc.). On the state level, reported, or published, opinions generally come from the appellate courts not the trial courts. On the federal level, some trial court cases are reported. Remember that in a jury trial, there is nothing to "report" except a verdict. The full text of published opinions are printed in sets of books called reporters. Only those opinions that the court deems to have precedential value are published. Judges use these published cases to decide later cases involving similar facts or issues. When a court first releases an opinion, it is usually published as a single case in a pamphlet known as a "slip opinion." Multiple opinions are collected and published in soft-bound pamphlets called "advance sheets." Advance sheets are later replaced by bound volumes, known as "reports" or "reporters." The pagination in the advance sheets and the bound volumes is identical. A list of the major reporters held by the Gallagher Law Library can be found at

Introduction I was asked by my colleague at the New York University School of Law Library, Mirela Roznovschi, to prepare this guide to US legal research for the International/Foreign Law section of this website. For this reason, I have chosen to treat the United States like a foreign jurisdiction and to address the guide to legal researchers in a more global setting. I have made the assumption that access to printed sources and fee-based databases is limited. This guide is intended to direct legal research through publicly accessible web-based databases. It is not intended to supplant traditional sources of legal research. Indeed the initiative to make primary law sources available freely accessible on the internet is new. Most databases begin holdings in the mid-1990's.

Extractions: While the process of legal research in any jurisdiction follows the same basic steps, United States legal sources differ from foreign legal sources . There are also numerous helpful resources specifically for banking law research Regardless of the jurisdiction, it is best to start any legal research project with secondary sources. Secondary legal sources include treatises, loose-leaf services and law review articles. There are many US secondary sources as well as foreign secondary sources Researching the Law of the United States The United States, a common law jurisdiction, has two parallel systems of government: the federal system and the state system. In general, state law governs unless it conflicts with federal law. As with any common law jurisdiction, it is important to look at both case law and statutes Finding US Primary Law Primary law is made up of cases statutes and administrative law Case Law In the United States, opinions and decisions of federal and state courts create precedent which is binding on other courts; therefore, many of the opinions and decisions of these courts are published.
