Citations tell you where a case is published. They typically come in the form of a volume number, reporter abbreviation and a page number, followed by the court and year in parentheses. For example, a typical citation for a Minnesota Supreme Court case in the North Western Reporter 2d Series might look something like this: A.B. v. C.D., 123 N.W.2d 456 (Minn. 20**).
Opinions of the Minnesota appellate courts beginning with May of 1996 can be found on our Web Archive by keyword search, name, date or docket number, but not by citation.
