For example, I know the proper reference for the following case is: Cahlin v. General Motors Acceptance Corp., 936 F.2d 1151, 1156 (11th Cir. 1991); However, what does 936 F.2d 1151, 1156 refer to? For instance, in: Cushman v. Trans Union Corp., 115 F.3d 220, 222 (3d Cir. 1997). When I pull up the entire case at: http://vls.law.vill.edu/locator/3d/Jun1997/97a1610p.txt I don't see any reference to 115 F.3d 220, 222. Where does this come from? I assume F.3d means Federal 3rd District but 115 and 220 and 222?
Thanks! Wow, that is kind of in-depth. Where do you locate the "Volume of the Reporter?" A legal library?
