[edit] Image of seal
This template is designed to serve for any U.S. court case, not just Supreme Court cases. However, the seal displayed is always that of the Supreme Court. Should the template be changed to be exclusively for Supreme Court cases, or can someone think of a way to choose between seal images? Mateo SA | talk 01:51, August 6, 2005 (UTC)
- The most viable option would be an {{{image}}} parameter, in which the image filename could be entered. --Wikiacc (talk) 20:53, August 26, 2005 (UTC)

Should this be used as the normal way to show concurrences? --John R. Barberio talk, contribs 13:12, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Citing Dissenters
How should justices joining the dissent be cited? I came across an article (Kelo v. New London Revision as of 05:08, 1 December 2005) using the template that had two "joined-by" settings and it preferred the latter, which was intended to be the dissenters. - Bitt 04:02, 2 December 2005 (UTC)
