==Usage==
Copy a blank version to use. All fields '''''must''''' be [[lowercase]]. At this point, all fields are optional; however, this is subject to change as the template matures.

==Description of fields==
''All fields are optional!''
; litigants : List of litigants, such as "Miranda v. Arizona". If a Wikipedia article using this exact string exists, a link will automatically be created. Alternately, if an article exists but another name is desired for display, a wikilink may be specified; i.e., "<nowiki>[[Case article|This v. That]]</nowiki>". Note: This should likely not be optional.
; vol : Volume of the [[Reporter (law)|reporter]].
; reporter : The abbreviated term for whatever reporter is being referenced; i.e., "U.S." for the U.S. Supreme Court's "[[United States Reports]]".
; opinion : The opinion number, often the page number for the case.
; [[Case_citation#Pinpoint_citations|pinpoint]] : Identifies a specific part of a decision, typically by page or paragraph number.
; court : The standard abbreviation for the court being cited (e.g. "[[3d Cir.]]" or "[[M.D. Ala.]]"; see [http://www.alwd.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/pdf/CM2_Appendix4.pdf here] for other courts in the United States). In order for ''court'' to appear, ''date'' must be specified. Note: This field also should likely not be optional.
; date : The year or date in which the court rendered its decision.
; url : A web site or other online article with information on the case. For example, for a [[SCOTUS|U.S. Supreme Court]] case, the [[URL]] to ''[[FindLaw]]'' is <code><nowiki>http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?navby=CASE&court=US&vol={{{vol}}}&page={{{page}}}</nowiki></code>
; accessdate : The date that you viewed the website, not the date of the case.
