The Institute for Constitutional Studies.
The Institute for Constitutional Studies ("ICS") is a university-based institute dedicated to ensuring that
future generations of Americans understand the substance and historical development of the U.S. Constitution.
Established by the Supreme Court Historical Society, ICS is now located at the George Washington University
and associated with the GWU Law School. The Institute is co-sponsored by the American Historical Association,
the Association of American Law Schools, the American Political Science Association, and the Organization of
American Historians. ICS prepares younger scholars and educators to convey to their readers and students the
important role the Constitution has played in shaping American society.
The Supreme Court
http://library.wustl.edu/vlib/dredscott/
In 1846, Dred Scott and his wife Harriet filed suit for their freedom in the St. Louis Circuit Court.
This suit began an eleven-year legal fight that ended in the U.S. Supreme Court, which issued a
landmark decision declaring that Scott remain a slave. This decision contributed to rising tensions
between the free and slave states just before the American Civil War.
The records displayed in this exhibit document the Scotts' early struggle to gain their freedom
through litigation and are the only extant records of this significant case as it was heard in the St.Louis
Circuit Court.

On October 26, 1992, Congress passed Public Law 102-525, establishing Brown
v. Board of Education National Historic Site to commemorate the landmark Supreme Court decision
aimed at ending segregation in public schools. On May 17, 1954, the Supreme Court unanimously declared
that "separate educational facilities are inherently "unequal" and, as such, violate the 14th Amendment to the
United States Constitution, which guarantees all citizens "equal protection of the laws." The site
is located at Monroe Elementary School in Topeka, Kansas. Monroe was the segregated school attended by the lead plaintiff's
daughter, Linda Brown, when Brown
v. Board of Education of Topeka was initially filed in 1951.

http://www.haverford.edu/library/reference/mschaus/mfi/mfi.html
Feminae: Medieval Women and Gender Index covers journal articles, book reviews,
and essays in books about women,
sexuality, and gender during the Middle Ages. Because of the explosion
of research in Women's Studies during the
past two decades, scholars and students interested in women during the
Middle Ages find an ever-growing flood of
publications. Identifying relevant works in this mass of material is further
complicated by the interdisciplinary nature
of much of the scholarship. In order to help researchers find current articles
and essays quickly and easily, librarians and scholars began compiling the Medieval Feminist Index (MFI) in July
1996. Books written by a single author are
not indexed in MFI; for these, check library catalogs that have strong
collections in medieval studies.

be quite helpful, particularly if you download

editions of engravings by the 17th century German artist, Johann Wilhelm
Bauer, depicting 150 scenes from the
Metamorphoses. Each scene has a brief description in both Latin and German.
Some plates from a 1640 edition of the
translation done by George Sandys are also available.

entrance into the Union on December 11, 1816. Territorial Cases will
soon be added. Researchers will notice some overlapping of court

facility located in the Cultural Education Center on Madison Avenue in Albany.
There it cares for and provides access to more than 130 million documents that

history, and include one of the world’s greatest collections of historical

United States as seen through the prism of New York City and State.
Forty

provide the foundation for exploration of the nation’s richly layered past and

issues surrounding the making and meaning of history.

The Court of Appeals, New York State's highest
court, is composed of a Chief Judge and six Associate Judges, each appointed to
a 14-year term. New York's highest appellate court was established to articulate
statewide principles of law in the context of deciding particular lawsuits. The
Court thus generally focuses on broad issues of law as distinguished from
individual factual disputes. There is no jurisdictional limitation based upon
the amount of money at stake in a case or the status or rank of the parties.

As one of three equal and independent branches of state government,
Pennsylvania's Unified Judicial System's role is to preserve the rule of law and

disputes brought before juries and judges as prescribed by law and by
administering all aspects of the judicial process consistent with provisions of
the Constitutions of the United States of America and the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania.
RHODE ISLAND:

The

justice from the names received, and the appointee must receive the advice and
consent of both the Senate and the House of Representatives.
As
the court of last resort, the Supreme Court is the final interpreter of state
law. The Supreme Court has final appellate jurisdiction over questions of law
and equity, supervisory powers over other state courts, and general advisory
responsibility to the legislative and the executive branches of state government
concerning the constitutionality of legislation. Regulating admission to the

Documenting the American South (DAS) is a collection of sources on Southern
history, literature and culture
from the colonial period through the first decades of the 20th century. It is organized into
the projects listed above. The next one, now in the planning stage, will feature North Caroliniana.
The Academic Affairs Library at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
sponsors DAS, and the texts come primarily from its Southern holdings. An editorial
board guides its development.

for the period before, during, and after the Civil War for Augusta County, Virginia, and Franklin
County, Pennsylvania. Those sources include newspapers, letters, diaries, photographs, maps,
church records, population census, agricultural census, and military records. Students can explore
every dimension of the conflict and write their own histories, reconstructing
the life stories of women,
African Americans, farmers, politicians, soldiers, and families. The project
is intended for secondary
schools, community colleges, libraries, and universities.
