In an article captioned "Final Word on U.S. Law Isn’t: Supreme Court Keeps Editing" that appeared in the New York Times dated May 24, 2014, Adam Liptak introduces the subject to the reader as follows:
“WASHINGTON — The [United States] Supreme Court has been quietly revising its decisions years after they were issued, altering the law of the land without public notice. The revisions include “truly substantive changes in factual statements and legal reasoning,” said Richard J. Lazarus, a law professor at Harvard and the author of a new study examining the phenomenon.”
Professor Lazarus’ article, now in draft, is scheduled for publication in the December 2014 issue of the Harvard Law Review.
