Doing in-depth research on a U.S. Supreme Court case decided in the last 30-40 years? Try using the ProQuest Supreme Court Insight database now subscribed to by the Moritz Law Library. Beyond the opinion and oral argument transcript, the database includes party and amicus briefs filed at both the petition and merit stages. Also included are joint appendices, which consist of important items from the lower court record such as trial court filings, transcripts of witness testimony, key exhibits, and lower court rulings. Researchers can search for documents by keyword, authoring Justice, brief author, subject, popular law name, date, or a combination of these. The database also integrates well with related resources like the Legislative Insight database, where researchers can browse or search all the legislative history documents associated with a particular federal legislative Act. Like nearly all Moritz Law Library databases, Supreme Court Insight can be accessed on-campus or off-campus.
