The courts. Donald Doxsee, A History of the Allen County Bar and Courts, 1824–2019. Fort Wayne: Allen County Bar Foundation, 2019. The book is not on the Internet Archive; its findings reached this project through The Indiana Lawyer's coverage of it, and the government leg says so wherever it relies on them.

What it proved here: the city court's institutional arc — a court established in the charter era, housed in the City Building courtroom from 1893, abolished in the 1971 reorganization that created the modern Allen Superior Court — with the pre-1924 bench (including H. Waveland Kerr, 1914–17) recovered by the government leg from the directories when Doxsee's account and the directory pages were laid side by side. Leander J. Monks, The Courts and Lawyers of Indiana, vol. I (Indianapolis: Federal Publishing Co., 1916), supplied the state-level frame for the same courts.

Fed:

  1. The government leg (the courts).
