Constitutional Law

A unique resource for Heller

Reader Matt Carmel has created a truly unique resource for Heller, which you can download in .zip format by clicking here. Caveat: it's a 41 Meg file, even compressed as a .zip. Require Adobe Reader to use.

What it is: a spreadsheet on the briefs and, more important, a keyword searchable Adobe file, so you can just enter a word or phrase and immediately see which briefs used it. Click on the resulting index entry and up pops the brief, right at that page.

I wish there was some procedure for filing software with the Court!

PS--here's Matt's homepage. When not creating software useful in Supreme Court cases, he is a firearms instructor and FFL in Maplewood, New Jersey. Oh, and organizes sailing cruises in New York. How's that for all-around?
