Colorado Civil Rights Commission.1 Like many cases that come before the Court the record for this case included numerous amicus briefs on various points of law but one of the more widely covered in the news was the submission by “cake artists” offered not in support of either party but which asked the Court to consider the question of whether or not the types of cakes produced by the complainant were art.2 Included in the brief of the “cake artists” were over a dozen photographs of art cakes to sup- port the contention that they were indeed art, and while these il- lustrations would not qualify as inserts for our project their pres- ence serves to demonstrate the prevalence of images of all types in the records of the Supreme Court of the United States.3 * Joann Maguire-Chavez, M.

Page 12. 6 UNBOUND Vol. 11 No. 2 While the Court requires a documentary record when a case is granted review, attorneys appearing for oral argument are usually discouraged from presenting exhibit materials at argument. De- spite that discouragement though some areas, such as Intellectual property cases and particularly patent cases, often require special consideration and over time the Court has issued rules on how this material should be presented in the documentation:4 4 Historical Rules of the Supreme Court of the United States. https://www.su- premecourt.gov/ctrules/scannedrules.aspx (last viewed 02/11/2019). 2019 UNBOUND 7 Rule 31 (1823) No cause will hereafter be heard until a complete record, containing in itself, without references aliunde, all the papers, exhibits, deposi- tions, and other proceedings which are necessary to the hearing in this Court shall be filed. Rule 26 (1941) All records, petitions, motions and briefs, printed for the use of the court must be in such form and size that they can be conveniently bound together, so as to make an ordinary octavo volume, having pages 6 1/8 x 9 1/4 inches and type matter … except that records in patent cases may be printed in such size as is necessary to utilize copies of patent documents… The option to present patent drawings in as full a form as possible continues in the modern day: Rule 33.1 (c) (2017) Document Preparation: Booklet Format: 8 1/2 by 11-Inch Paper For- mat. Copies of patent documents, except opinions, may be duplicated in such size as is necessary in a separate appendix. The Masterpiece Cakeshop brief was not the first time graphic im- ages or charts were submitted to the Court to help buttress a po- sition or to provide needed background information. Maps, patent drawings, architectural renderings, steamship timetables, tobacco containers, charts and graphs and even flour bags are some of the types of graphic and ephemeral materials that make up this collec- tion (hereafter ‘inserts’). Due to the varied physical nature of these inserts many are not included in the Gale-Cengage Making of Modern Law Records and Briefs Collection nor are the larger images - again with a few ex- ceptions - included in the West or Lexis collections of briefs. To illustrate this point the case of Abbott Laboratories v. Portland Re- tail Druggists Assn., Inc.,5 which includes several maps detailing the placement of the various pharmacies at issue, was searched in several different online collections of Records and Briefs. The maps in the Abbott case offer researchers an important visualization of the impact and change in the local marketplace that is central to the case (p. 24 of the Respondent’s Brief, #74-1274) but the maps are not included on Westlaw, Lexis nor in the ProQuest Supreme Court Insight product. The entire case was absent from the Making of Modern Law database. The absence of the maps from the readily available historical record represents a significant loss of context 5 Abbott Laboratories v. Portland Retail Druggists Assn., Inc. 425 US 1 (1976); Supreme Court of the United States Transcripts of Records and File Copies of Briefs, vol. 46 (1975) – inserts are filed in a pocket at the end of the bound briefs. 8 UNBOUND Vol. 11 No. 2 for the historian or lawyer seeking to better understand the histor- ical conditions for a particular case.6 The Library of the Supreme Court of the United States has over the past several years been engaged in a project to identify and index this material to improve access for the Court and for our research- ers. This article will briefly discuss the on-going indexing project, review plans for improved future access to this material for the Court and conclude with some examples of the types of inserts available in the records of the Supreme Court. About the Library: The Supreme Court of the United States Library’s primary mission is to assist the Justices in fulfilling their constitutional responsi- bilities by providing them with the best reference and research sup- port in the most efficient, ethical and economic manner.

  • An Investigation of Police Brutality in News Media
    1 An Investigation of Police Brutality in News Media Media Narratives and Narrative Icons as Argumentation and Communal Identity Douglas Phillips 2 Abstract This dissertation explores the ways in which narratives about decisive events coalesce in news media discourse, and how they function rhetorically. Specifically, this study examines how journalists frame stories about police brutality, how those frames construct versions of public narratives, and how those narrative versions can be used in discourse about issues of civic concern such as support for new community policing policies or opposition to Florida’s “Stand Your Ground” law. I show how journalists’ choice of semantic frames (e.g., racism, police-community relations, or criminal justice) helps to shape readers’ understanding of the events and contributes to the formation of a narrative icon, a word, name, or short phrase that, absent narrative detail, indexes particular versions of a broader cultural narrative. This research is motivated by questions about the reciprocity between prior knowledge, audience expectations, and public discourse, and how those combine to shape or reinforce cultural values and communal identities. To explore these questions, I draw on scholarship in narrative theory, frame semantics, intertextual analysis, and argument. I analyze over 1,700 newspaper articles published in the Los Angeles Times, Los Angeles Sentinel, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and New Pittsburgh Courier between 1991 and 2013 concerning incidents of police brutality, including Rodney King and Jonny Gammage, a Black man who died following a traffic stop in Pittsburgh, PA. My findings suggest three primary functions of narratives in news media discourse: as background information, as examples used to establish or illustrate a rule, or as points of comparison.

INTRODUCTION With its majority decision, this Court has held that the 2011 Plan “plainly, clearly and palpably” violates the Pennsylvania Constitution. All parties, including the Legislative Respondents, exhaustively briefed the issues associated with a constitutional challenge to the gerrymandered congressional map, which was created with obvious partisan intent. This Court conducted an extraordinary session for oral argument, which lasted for over three hours, and thoroughly discussed the issues involved in the challenge. Now, after the Court has rendered its decision, the Legislative Respondents seek disqualification of Justice David Wecht and “full disclosure” from Justice Christine Donohue. Their demand is untimely and should be summarily dismissed.

Sypolt ~'November 15, 1988 Morgantown, WV I Preface This paper is meant to be an administrative history of the Civilian Conservation Corps at Camp SP-12, Fort Necessity, Farmington, PA. The CCC camp at Fort Necessity existed for only two and one-half years, from June 1935, through December 1937. This oral history project was conducted with people who served the CCC program at Fort Necessity during those years. I have gotten interviews from a camp advisor, camp military officer, local experienced man, work leader and enrollees, the purpose of which was to yet an idea of what this experience meant to people at all levels. The first section opens with a brief overview of the CCC program in general. No attempt was made here to tell its whole story, as many books have already been written on the subject. This overview is followed by the administrative history at Fort Necessity, with papers following that are of particular interest to the camp. The second section contains the edited transcripts of the interviews. It is followed by some written interviews sent by people some distance away or who were not available for an oral interview. A list of questions is contained with their answers. I would also like to take this time to thank all those who helped me with this~,"project. A special thanks to Bill Fink and his staff at -Fort Necessity National Battlefield for all of their ,,- help and cooperation. Last, but not least, a special thanks to my typist.

INTRODUCTION War crimes trials are almost commonplace today as the normal course of events that follow modern-day wars and atrocities. In the North Atlantic, we use the liberal legal tradition to redress the harm caused to civilians by the state and its agents during periods of State and inter-State conflict. The truth is, war crimes trials are a recent invention. There were so-called war crimes trials after World War I, but they were not prosecuted with any real conviction or political will.
