Reading a Citation
Cases are found with a legal citation.
Citations have three parts:
- volume number
- title of a report (governmental collection of cases) or reporter (private publisher collection of cases)
- page number
For instance, Bush v. Gore, that decided the 2000 Presidential Election was made available in a wide variety of sources:
531 U.S. 98, 121 S. Ct. 525, 148 L. Ed. 2d 388
Let's take the following citation and break it down: 531 U.S. 98
- 531 = volume 531
- U.S. = United States Reports
- 98 = page number 98
