         THE RECENT PAST AND


               NEAR FUTURE OF


      REPORTING IN-CHAMBERS


                          Ross E. Daviest

 ompiling in-chambers opinions in traditional books of cases was a

       good idea in 2001 - when Cynthia J. Rapp created the first three
       volumes of A Collection of In Chambers Opinions by the Justices of the
Supreme Court of the United States (aka Rapp's Reports) - and 2004 - when the
Green Bag published them. Now the time has come to make some changes.
The Journal of In- Chambers Practice - Ira Brad Matetsky's new periodical, the
first issue of which you are now reading - is where those changes will take
place. Here are the basics:

               FINAL PUBLICATION OF 4 RAPP

S ince 2004, Rapp, Matetsky, and I have been collecting and annotating
   in-chambers opinions for a fourth volume of Rapp's Reports. The Green
Bag has been publishing those opinions in a series of preliminary pamphlet
installments. The cover of each of those 4 Rapp preliminary prints features
this appeal:

      NOTICE: This supplement is subject to revision before the com-
      plete, bound edition of 4 Rapp is published sometime in the next
      few years. Please notify the Green Bag (editors@greenbag.org) of
      any errors you find, so that we can fix them now.

Later this year, we will combine those preliminary prints (with corrections)
into the final book version of 4 Rapp. So, if you catch an error in any of
those preliminary prints - all of which you can read for free by visiting


t Professor of law, Antonin Scalia Law School at GMU; editor-in-chief, the Green Bag.
