Usage

{{Case}}

Automatically lists opinion of the court and up to 8 concurrent opinions and up to 4 dissenting opinions so long as those parts conform to naming convention. The template also supports opinions concurring in part and dissenting in part and separate opinions. Note that as this template is a generic one for all court cases, you will have to add a category to the case's main page yourself.

for subdirectory pages use template:Case2

insert the following after the Header at the top of the page:

    {{Case
    |seriatim                    =
    |percuriam                   =
    |concurrence_author1         =
    |concurrence_author2         =
    |concurrence_author3         =
    |concurrence_author4         =
    |concurrence_author5         =
    |concurrence_author6         =
    |concurrence_author7         =
