SC Decisions format needs to change. SCOTUS' format is the way to go.
Hi, this might be a super niche topic LOL pero hindi ba pwedeng gamitin ng Supreme Court natin ang format ng SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the United States) decisions? Saan pwede mag request? HAHAHAHA
I write articles for law school journals and I do a lot of legal research of both US and Philippine case law. And for those who write alam ko makakarelate kayo hahaha.
Tbh, ang gulo and andaming nangyayari when I read cases from our Supreme Court, iba-iba format, may signature pa and all. Pwede bang isang format lang kahit sa separate dissenting/concurring opinion?
Like, can we just make it as neat as SCOTUS decisions and use in-line citation if ever? Ginagawa kasi minsang mini-essay na pag footnote gamit eh.
In the same vein, sana pwede ding magkaron ng access to full docket of cases filed in our Supreme Court. Sa SCOTUS, lahat ng documents filed in a specific case, andoon. As someone who likes to read parties briefs, nakakalungkot na Decisions/Resolutions lang accessible. Sometimes, Petitions pero for more known cases lang like Dutertes lol.
But I speculate it's because of the budget, but who knows?
