Supreme Court Records And Briefs Now Freely Available (Thank You William & Mary Law Library)

Worth checking out. Although academics (and, presumably, those who pay for the privilege) have been able to access a limited catalog of historic records and briefs from the U.S. Supreme Court, thanks to the Wolf Library at William & Mary Law School, those same records are now generally available, for free.

Go here to start exploring. Here’s a sampling of what cases you dirt lawyers can find:

Pennsylvania Coal Co. v. Mahon, 260 U.S. 393 (1922) (the first modern case recognizing a claim for regulatory takings)

Kaiser Aetna v. United States, 444 U.S. 164 (1970) (the case that first explicated on the right to exclude)

Nectow v. City of Cambridge, 277 U.S. 183 (1928) (Yes, we upheld zoning against a facial challenge in Euclid, but as applied? Maybe a different outcome.)

And more!

See this announcement from the Internet Archive for more.
