The first eight of the following lists and tables return HTML pages. Six of the eight are created dynamically from the database. The Bibliography is a static page with links to most of the places in which the item is cited. The list of Cases That Are Not ‘True’ Appeals is a search engine that allows one to return those that are and those that are not so marked. The last six of the lists and tables return PDF’s of items that are not in the database.
