Someone want to add a SCOTUS infobox to this page?
"Images must be relevant to the article they appear in and be of sufficient notability (relative to the article's topic)." It is unusual to highlight the role of the lawyer with regard to a particular case. More notable candidates in thise case would be Rehnquist, Stevens, and Dale(!). Dale's image should be up near the top, while Rehnquist and Stevens would fit nicely near the opinions. The problem is that there isn't much room at the top, so it might cause formatting issues to fit an image of Dale. I'll see what I can figure out. -- NThurston 15:44, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
I happen to notice that the length of the "dissenting views" section happpens to be longer than the "majority views" section - apparantly as if the "minority were the majority". Doesn't that violate undue weight? If so, I'd like to shorten that down a bit or extend the "majority view" section. -- Andrewlp1991 ( talk) 06:03, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
There is something to be said for a longer minority opinion. The majority decision was (and is a source of controversy for being) brief. The majority decision is 2 pages long whereas the minority decisions take up approximately 26 pages. There may just be more to say about the minority opinions than the majority merely due to the brevity of the latter. See [1]. -- Triptenator ( talk) 19:19, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
The original author directly copied most of the text in the majority opinion section from the opinion without quoting or paraphrasing. I'm going to try to correct this as much as possible, but it's something others should watch out for. I've also tried to add citations throughout the opinions.

I think it is very relavant to this article that James Dale was born and raised with the name James Dick, changed his name in 1999 to James Dale just before bringing his case against the BSA.
