Suggestions for improvement: Not many for such an excellent article.  Some of the early paragraphs could be a little longer to better represent paragraph length norms.(This is a very subjective observation based on my interpretation of the layout guidelines.  In no way is the article close to failing that guideline).  More importantly, I wonder if Champan supported slavery.  He was a democrat and didn't like Lincoln so I'm a bit curious.  And, do we know anything about his parents?  It would be great if their occupations were added.User:calbear22 (talk) 17:35, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Congrats on the promotion, AM! One other point of curiosity, what was up with the whole disbarment/OSC thing? A little more detail, while not necessary, would be interesting! -Pete (talk) 17:47, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
Partly political (read the judge's bio and you'll get a better understanding of Pratt) and partly a personal insult relating to Pratt. I think it had to do with Pratt's business/legal ethics, but I'd have to look. Aboutmovies (talk) 18:33, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
