Resources

Resources are available chapter-by-chapter, or on their own aggregated pages:

For every judicial opinion excerpted in the casebook, we post the full opinion here, in PDF format. 

Here we link to or post court documents that are featured in the casebook, as well as supplemental documents it refers to. 

The documents posted here together make a casebook statutory/regulatory supplement. 

Opinions and court documents excerpted in the casebook are above; this section links (where possible) to full versions of all the other excerpted sources — mostly books, articles, and reports.   

This section lists (and where possible links to) non-litigation sources cited, but not excerpted.  For some chapters, we have also provided additional sources for further investigation.   

  • This section presents downloadable versions of all casebook tables and figures, along with full downloadable details on underlying methodology, replication, and data.  
  • (Coming soon) In addition, on a separate page, once each year, we will post updated data and figures on federal court prisoner civil rights litigation.
