[PW] Analysis of U. S. Supreme Court Decision

[Paul Burnam]

Project Wombat Community:

I worked with a student in a judicial process class yesterday for 
over an hour in searching for commentary and analysis about the 
significance of the U. S. Supreme Court decision, Touby v. United 
States (1991).  Ideally, what he sought were articles from newspapers 
or periodicals that discussed the significance of the 
decision.  Touby gets into how the U. S. Attorney General administers 
the schedules for controlled substances.

We searched such databases as Lexis-Nexis Academic, EBSCO's Legal 
Collection, Social Science Abstracts, Social Science Citation Index, 
SciFinder, Public Affairs Information Service, and Worldwide 
Political Science Abstracts.  We also searched the online catalog 
using the keyword phrase controlled substances.  We found a view 
brief mentions of the case only.  We looked at Lexis-Nexis for law 
review articles, but the case only appeared in footnotes of the 
articles examined in detail.

If anyone can suggest other sources that devote substance to a 
discussion of Touby, I will be extremely grateful.  Thank you for 
your time and assistance.
