How do you find the dates for a court case?

Mmmm. I can tell you the 73rd Congress, 1st Session, was March 9, 1933, to June 15, 1933...

The "Ala." means it was a case in Alabama's Supreme Court.

Based on the volume number (214) of the Alabama case reporter, I think the case was decided around 1926.

Tillman V. Roberts. 108 So. 62:

"The primary control and custody of infants is with the government."

Goes back (and there is a ton of weird stuff related to this and some is hard to see how/where it applies, understand - but..it originates - IT APPEARS) to:

The US is a Federal corporation as defined in 28 U.S.C. part 3002 (15)(A).

The corporation holds all rights and rule over its "employees" - ie people. And one can find all sort of info wherein the theorists claim this means we are all slaves to the govt corp. And, as slaves (invoking all slave laws) our property (children considered mere possessions) too. Thus the govt is the real custodian of our children.

Van Koten 154 N.E. 146, Senate Document 43 & 73rd Congress 1 Session:

"Marriage is a civil contract to which there are three parties-the husband, the wife and the state."

Here again, the stuff I found all relates back to the starting point of the US being a corporation and thus holds rule over all its "employees".

Not sure exactly what you are looking for.

It is a daunting search to look through all the senate and congress reports and case laws. Additionally, it is difficult to research all the applications/intrepretations of the laws from legal eagles who post on the net about such.

Seems most of the info on blogs and the like are extreme theories to apply damaging claims against the govt in an attempt to make the people reading the blogs think they are all slaves.

I have a ton of links, but did not wish to burden the thread. If you wish them, PM and I will forward the reading material to you.

Although, the research took so long, you may have your answer by now.

Good luck finding what you wish to read up on.

You might try looking up the Alabama Supreme Court website. State supreme court websites sometimes have free access to decisions on their website if it's a published decision, but that depends on how far back their online database goes.

You might also try www.findlaw.com

It's a free legal database that sometimes has decisions online. Again, it depends on how far back their database goes. If you look under the case name and citation, you'll generally find the date that the court issued it's decision.

Otherwise, a quick phone call to your county law library might also give you a quick answer.

Find dates for a court case?

That's really weird. I usually invite them to movies or dinner.

You're taking a date to a court case?

Also, you can Google the case citation and get an idea for it (And don't trust speculative sites). Once you have the actual citation, it will give you an idea of where to look to find the actual case. Many colleges have very good law libraries, and once you know how to do the research, it's not difficult. Everything is in code, so to speak, and it follows the same pattern for different sources. For your citation, 108 So. 62, the first number, 108, is your volume number, the abbreviated letters, So. , will be the source (In this case, it's West's Southern Reporter) and the third number, 62, is the page number, or beginning page number, of where it is found in that source.
