Recent Headlines
I kinda think headlines should only be there if they include some specific mention of Boies himself. It should not just be a place to post something every time the firm is in the news. •J Z• 16:33, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

cleanup tag
The article is disjointed, internally inconsistent in formatting, and weirdly weighted. It needs to be rewritten. THF 02:01, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

He represented Napster when it was sued by the record industry (see list of attorneys at end of opinion at http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/~wseltzer/napster.html). This should be added to the notable cases. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.217.149.46 (talk) 05:18, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Quotes
The "Quotes" section seems very promotional, can we get rid of that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.252.125.88 (talk) 16:17, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Birthplace
The article says he was born in Marengo in one place and in Sycamore in another place. Which is it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.131.94.207 (talk) 00:28, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

It says Marengo, IL in the infobox but in the article it states he was born in Sycamore, IL. RudyReis (talk) 00:19, 31 December 2012 (UTC)
 * It's been 5 years (2½ since most recent post), and the article still contains this discrepancy. I'll try to research it. Senator2029 “Talk” 10:41, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

According to this biographical overview from Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP (his law firm): "Mr. Boies was born in Sycamore, Illinois on March 11, 1941. He attended the University of Redlands (1960-62), and received a B.S. from Northwestern University (1964), an LL.B., magna cum laude from Yale University (1966), and an LL.M. from New York University (1967)." This primary source is authoritative, and the infobox corrected thusly. Senator2029 “Talk” 08:22, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Better photo needed
It would be nice to have a photo where his upper lip isn't sopping wet. Bueller 007 (talk) 22:40, 22 May 2021 (UTC)
