[edit] Case list?

Is a listing of his court cases neccessary? to me, it doesn't and makes the article too long. Kiwidude 09:41, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

I find the list fascinating, and the list isn't easy to find elsewhere. It's an interesting insight into Tribe's causes (and their diversity) and, let's be honest, this article is pretty thin to begin with.

I agree that the list is very nice to have, but there's an inconsistency: the introduction states that he "has argued before the U.S. Supreme Court 36 times," but the article later presents "[a] complete list of the 34 cases Tribe has argued in the U.S. Supreme Court". So is it 34 or 36? Kurivaim 01:43, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A Shanghai born native of San Francisco?

The article says Professor Tribe is a Shanghai born native of San Francisco. Does this mean Professor Tribe was born in Shanghai but currently resides in San Francisco? Or was he born in both places? Or..... (I'm not sure what the next question should be).

Just wondering. Yours, Famspear 04:03, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Reference to "Shanghai" removed, as apparent vandalism. Yours, Famspear 21:05, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

I removed the China thing. If it is true then it needs to be cited. More information would be interesting too, were his parents refugees from the Nazis? Also do we have some information on his wife and children, if any? Steve Dufour 21:32, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] That

I've just seen it again; if there is a list, it should include Kirk_Dillard.
