See how, or if, your judge has dealt with issues like yours in past decisions. Decisions are organized by type and are searchable using the search function in your PDF reader.
Use the search function of your pdf reader (typically “Shift+Ctrl+F”) rather than the “find” function to search the report for:
Issues
For example, in decisions on motions to dismiss one might search for “failure to state a claim”
Facts
For example, search for “foreign” or “alien” when the issue in your case involves issues for which these search terms are relevant
Cases
Case names (or any portion thereof) or citations are searchable as part of the text. To avoid missing a citation because of typographical errors, keep the search terms as short as possible.
