Supreme Court Quotations

[Fred Shapiro]

I previously appealed to this list for contributions of law-related
quotations for the second edition of my book, The Oxford Dictionary of
American Legal Quotations.  The response was modest.  Let me try again
with a more focused query:  I would welcome contributions of famous or
eloquent or historically important quotations from U.S. Supreme Court
opinions of the 1990s.  Contributors of more than one quotation that
appears in the published second edition will be acknowledged in the book's
preface.

Subject: Quotations Appeal

I am beginning to work on the second edition of the Oxford Dictionary of
American Legal Quotations (Oxford University Press).  This is generally
considered to be the most authoritative and most comprehensive legal
quotation book.

Now and for the next couple of years, I would welcome contributions of
quotations that are not already included in the first edition of the
ODALQ.  Quotations from the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000's are particularly
valuable, but older quotations not in the first edition are also
desirable.  I would prefer quotations with precise sources, but even
unattributed quotes are useful.  Contributors of more than one quotation
included in the published second edition will be acknowledged in the
Preface.

Please e-mail contributions to me at fred.shapiro at yale.edu.
