Citability and the Nature of Precedent in the Courts of Appeals: A Response to Dean Robel	2002	12	.pdf	application/pdf	6049	301	57	1 From October 1, 1999 to September 30, 2000, the federal courts of appeals resolved 79.8% of their merits determinations by unpublished opinion, 2 while unpublished opinions in the state courts numbered in the tens of thousands. I am grateful to the participants in the Symposium, Caught in the Middle: The Role ofState Intermediate Appellate Courts for their thoughtful comments and questions, to Doug Berman for first sparking my interest in thinking about the proper role of unpublished opinions, and to Julianna Plawecki for her superb research assistance.	cache/inlawrev-3519.pdf	txt/inlawrev-3519.txt
