List format for controversial decisions
I think the list format is quite appropriate for controversial decisions. Such decisions are, by nature, relatively unconnected events. Non-list prose might be suitable for a discussion of a Judge's general history and tendencies in controversial decisions, but that's another matter.djlewis —Preceding undated comment was added at 15:41, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
