In order to use the right Table of Cases, it is necessary to know the court that decided the case. If you do not know the court, ask a librarian for help. To find cases about a topic, it is often best to find cases by looking for articles in law journals. A law journal article will not only explain the law and the cases, but also cite to cases in the footnotes. These cases can then be looked up in the reporters.
Books are also a good way to find cases.
