Joe, the link above comes up for me but I don't know how to edit the items onscreen, so I will list them below. If you have questions, I have the hard copy with the editions on it. Let me know if you can do it this way or if there is a better way for the html changes.
Joe, note that in this section you normally use past tense, then you use present tense just before the direct quotes from the Court. We decided with previous chapters that the judicial rhetoric normally is presented in past tense. So, you need to regularize throughout. E.g. "The court argued:" vs. The court claims:
Case Summaries, Chapter Six
in the list
Anencephalic Infantss - delete 2nd s
Removal From a Ventilator - lower case from
Refusal of Treatment For Religious Reasons - lower case for
Foody v. Manchester Memorial
punctuation - add period to final word in paragraph
Rasmussen v. Fleming
delete comma after include in second line
In re Conroy
5th line, phrase : limited objective test - seems like a phrase to italicize to highlight or to create a link defining it
In re Jobes
In re Conroy's is italicized and I think that is because you are referring back to the previous citation. Any other reason to do that? Do you do it with all other cases referred to in this manner throughout documents?
3rd line - significant pain - this implies that In re Conroy is about pain but it is not stated in Conroy above
persistent vegetative state - appears in 3rd line without an acronym; in 2nd last sentence it is referred to by PVS acronym. You should introduce the acronym after the written out phrase in the 3rd line if you want to use it below
Superintendent of Belchertown
first line - spelling of Saikewicz is xz (correct)
delete comma after ten
add comma after 67 years of age
In the Matter of Baby K
add hyphen to well-publicized
Large Title Physician Assisted Suicide
1) decide if you will use hyphen for physician-assisted and then do it throughout; sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't in other parts
2) include acronym (PAS) after title since you use in the 2nd line below without writing out the phrase
Washington v. Glucksberg
PAS - acronym only; write it out or use acronym in title directly above
Due Process Clause - italicize and define? Note use of caps here but in other places you don't capitalize - regularize
delete . after Clause
lower case court when referring to US Supreme Court - in other places you have used C when referring to Supreme Court - regularize
PAS - same as above
Vacco v. Quill
Equal Portection Clause - italicize, define? Note use of caps here but not in other sections; regularize as with Due Process Clause
Griswold v - add period after v.
Joe - you use a sentence fragment for the first statement - it needs an action verb
life-saving - add hyphen
first and fourth amendment - add s since you are referring to two amendments; also note that these are written out here but in other sections they are numbered (Sharon's notes for example, and she capitalizes Amendment) regularize usage
Removal From (change to lower case from)
you say - "applied the recently established right . . . in Griswold and Roe." But Griswold was 10 years prior - I would change the "recently established" in that sentence
ventilator, but - delete comma
Barber v. Superior - after Cal. Rptr no punctuation - add period?
the physicians removed ____ respirator - needs an article a/the
Brophy v. New England
delete a before the in first line
last word whould be meaningful not meaningfully
add paragraph spacing after meaningful. and before next title: Cruzan v. Director, move it to proper position and highlight
Cruzan v. Director
delete comma after vegetative state in first line
delete second that in 3rd line
delete comma after wishes in 4th line
In the Interest of Bryan Karwath (use lower case for name other than first letters)
first line: ordered - add ed
In the Matter of Hudson
Although . . . is a sentence fragment; just add a comma after activities and use lower case the court held to make a complete statement.
In Re Green - uppercase Re as with in Re Clark below or lower case as with In re Conroy, In re Jobes? Or regularize throughout?
immediately imperiled is italicized? is that because it is that format in the original quote?
In the Matter of AB
2nd line - life-preserving - add hyphen
In the Matter of John Storar
court - delete comma after
case - delete comma
In Re Clark - lower case re as In re Conroy, In re Jobes? or uppercase as in Re Green? Or regularize throughout?
In this Ohio case - delete comma since you haven't used the comma earlier in this phraseology, so delete it here
Court - lower case as with others?
right, - delete comma
Court - lower case as with others?
While he "belongs" - single quote within double quotes
Refusal of Treatment For - lower case for
In re Osborne, in re Fetus - have lower case re - regularize?
In re Fetus Brown
does not - change to past tense - did not
The court found that the father would support a women's - change to woman's (singular)
Joe, this sentence and the next about the fetus confuse the reader because you did notset it up with a preliminary statement as you did above about the fact that the woman has another child older than the fetus to consider.
