Landmark Judgments

Pick a seat. Read it your way.

Every judgment is explained at three depths. Start anywhere; each level is complete on its own.

About 5 minutes

The Gallery

The case as a story: who wanted what, the turning point and the verdict.

About 12 minutes

The Bar

The questions, the mechanism and the holdings you may cite.

The craft

The Bench

The over-readings to avoid, and how each side uses the case.

Three rules we keep.

i

Verbatim, with the paragraph

Every quotation is copied word for word from the judgment and tagged with its paragraph number, so you can check it and cite it.

ii

Nothing assumed

No limitation date appears until you confirm the outcome, and no direction is shown unless its words are found in the order.

iii

Our reading, clearly marked

Our commentary is always labelled “Our reading” and kept visibly apart from the Court’s own words.
