Re: Finding appellate history
I'm guessing you're not in law school yet, or you'd know to look in the procedural history contained within the case itself.Grad_Student wrote:I have a case that just came down from the Supreme Court, Carachuri-Rosendo v. Holder, and I want to find out which district court it was appealed from. Any ideas?

Re: Finding appellate history
I appreciate the rib newbie but the farthest it goes back to is the INS. I guess I'll have to look up the trial court on the database at work. Thanks anyways.Ender Wiggins wrote:I'm guessing you're not in law school yet, or you'd know to look in the procedural history contained within the case itself.Grad_Student wrote:I have a case that just came down from the Supreme Court, Carachuri-Rosendo v.

Re: Finding appellate history
You know the answer to your question, and you're still asking it? From what you said, it was an appeal from an INS administrative decision. Am I missing something?Grad_Student wrote:I appreciate the rib newbie but the farthest it goes back to is the INS. I guess I'll have to look up the trial court on the database at work.

There was no Art III trial court - it originated with an Immigration Judge -> Board of Immigration Appeals -> 5th COA [courtesy of the Petition for Cert's Statement of the Case courtesy of SCOTUSBlog]Grad_Student wrote:I appreciate the rib newbie but the farthest it goes back to is the INS.

Re: Finding appellate history
If you have a lexis account, just hit the "shepardize" button.
If you have a westlaw account, hit the "keycite" button.
If you have a westlaw account, hit the "keycite" button.

Re: Finding appellate history

If you have a westlaw account, hit the "keycite" button.

Key Cite won't show the EOIR decision; you need to take the extra step of clicking on "Direct History" to pull that up.nealric wrote:You should be getting the lower court opinion and any briefs/motions filed in the case.

edit: Never mind. After looking over the thread, I see that the OP actually found this decision, but does not understand how judicial review of orders of removal works and is therefore confused.
