Bluetable BT2 has been updated to reflect the current local citation rules in federal and state courts. THE WHITEPAGES Rule 1.4 no longer dictates an order of authorities within a signal. Instead authorities should be ordered in a logical manner with more relevant sources preceding less relevant sources. Rule 1.5b has been revised to clarify the placement of "hereinafter" and "last visited" parentheticals in citations to internet sources. Rule 3.3d has been added to govern citation to "flush" language and examples such as those found in Treasury Regulations. Rule 9a has been revised to clarify the use of first names for judges. Rule 10.6.2 was added to bring The Bluebook into conformity with current U.S. Supreme Court practice regarding citations to stay or bail applications ruled on by a single justice. Rule 10.8.1a provides clearer guidance on citing to case docket numbers. Rule 12.3 has been changed to require citation to the official federal code "if available" rather than "whenever possible." This change is intended to facilitate citation to unofficial codes in online databases. unknown books

Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. 1841-1935 is one of the most significant figures in American history both as a judge and as a legal scholar. He was also without question one of the most well-read and erudite jurists of his age. Justice Holmes kept his personal notes in a volume that he called the Black Book. For more than 50 years Holmes filled his Black Book with lists of books he read including detailed notes on some of them accounts of his travels and even observations about flower blooms in Washington DC where he served on the U.S. Supreme Court from 1902 to 1932 and where he lived except for summers at his place in Beverly Farms MA - and continued to make entries in his Black Book - until his death in 1935. This volume gives insight into his mind and activities for a half-century. Here the original text is provided in facsimile with a transcription on facing pages. Additional essays by the editors and other scholars highlight the significance of the Black Book and situate it in jurisprudential and historical context. unknown books

Immediately challenged in the Superior Court the school board's decision was revoked in part on the grounds that the readings were non-sectarian. In a ringing dissent Justice Alphonso Taft the father of William Howard Taft declared: "This great principle of equality in the enjoyment of religious liberty and the faithful preservation of the rights of each individual conscience is important in itself and is essential to religious peace and temporal prosperity in any country under a free government. But in a city and State whose people have been drawn from the four quarters of the world with a great diversity of inherited religious opinions it is indispensable" 417.
