Note: As noted in the Introduction: Given my views as to the confidentiality of the judge-clerk relationship as well as the obvious strength of personality, intellect and writing ability of the two judges involved it would be inappropriate to list any of these opinions in the Bibliography itself. Necessarily, no representation is made, one way or the other, regarding my participation in their preparation. Nonetheless, it was thought that anyone sufficiently interested to have consulted this Bibliography at all might at least welcome having access to those citations.
Case names are followed by citations in standard Bluebook style. (If this is unfamiliar, any lawyer or law librarian can assist in finding the relevant volumes and pages.) Bracketed material indicates the Fifth Circuit case number, the city where the court heard the argument, the initials of the additional judges assigned to the case, the date of the argument/assignment, and the date the opinion was released. These opinions are also available in digital electronic form from Lexis, Westlaw and possibly other online sources.

Note: As noted in the Introduction: Given my views as to the confidentiality of the judge-clerk relationship as well as the obvious strength of personality, intellect and writing ability of the two judges involved it would be inappropriate to list any of these opinions in the Bibliography itself. Necessarily, no representation is made, one way or the other, regarding my participation in their preparation. Nonetheless, it was thought that anyone sufficiently interested to have consulted this Bibliography at all might at least welcome having access to those citations.
Case names are followed by citations in Bluebook style. (If this is unfamiliar, any lawyer or law librarian can assist in finding the relevant volumes and pages.) These opinions are also available in digital electronic form from Lexis, Westlaw and possibly other online sources.
