Rutgers - Camden Federal Courts Search Page

This is a full-text archive of U.S. Supreme Court decisions from 1754 to 2005, and U.S. Circuit Court of Appeal from 1950 to 2007 (F.2d vol. 178 to F.3d vol. 491).

This collection was originally prepared and made available to the public through the efforts of Public.Resource.Org, Inc., whose logo appears at the bottom of each decision. We are deeply indebted to them for their work. The only visible difference from the Public Resource.Org originals is the inclusion of hypertext links in statute and case citations.

Thank you to everyone who has shown your support for the Rutgers - Camden digital law library. We greatly appreciate the support of everyone who is able to help fund these services. A list of our supporters can be found here.

If you find our collections valuable, we ask that you consider showing your support with a donation to the Law Library. Any amount is greatly appreciated. To make a donation, please click here, or click on "Support the Law Library", on the banner above.

SEARCH FOR CASES BY PARTY NAME
To find cases by the names of the parties involved, First select the courts that you wish to search. Then enter names in the appropriate boxes. It does not matter which box gets the plaintiff and which gets the defendant. Enter as much or as little as you want of the name.
(Important hints) Typing both a plaintiff and defendant in only one box will almost guarantee failure. Finally, the party names that we save are generally limited to the first name that appears in the caption. For example: "William Smith and Thomas Jones v. John Cusak and William Thornton" is saved in the system as "William Smith v. William Thornton".
