Guide to Unpublished Judicial Opinions

From the E-LawLibrary Weblog, 4/24/2005:

"Joseph L. Gerken, a law librarian at the State
University of New York at Buffalo, is the author
of "A Librarian's Guide to Unpublished Judicial Opinions"
[96:3 Law Library Journal 475 (Summer 2004)].

The format is questions and answers, which are divided
into the following categories: history and context,
constitutional challenges, the Supreme Court,
depublication, citing and using unpublished opinions,
practical implications, and critiques. A selective
annotated bibliography begins on page 25."
