THE APPELLATE AND TRIAL RECORD AS USED

What it is: the record class under the Crime leg's whole structure, used with a discipline this article states because this section's verdicts depend on it. Published opinions print at full strength: Pittman v. State, 528 N.E.2d 67 (Ind. 1988) — the town's one homicide prosecution on its own ground, told whole; Pearish, 344 N.E.2d 296 (1976); Paul, 204 Ind. 693 (1933), which is also the Cemeteries leg's authority for Woodlawn's association holding; the depository prosecutions at 91 Ind. App. 106 and 100 Ind. App. 501, which carry the banking story's legal half; and the attorney-discipline record (the Huizenga admonition) at the strength a public admonition carries. The unpublished and the merely-filed print at their own, lower strengths, and the build's two rules are visible in the legs: a memorandum decision (Rozinski, Ind. Ct. App. 2011) is told as a memorandum decision, its facts the court's and its precedential weight none; and a pending case (the Seals matter, Cause 71D03-2604-F4-000016) prints charges only — the filing, not the facts. One further use: Kirk v. Town of Osceola's citation discipline runs the other way — the sister town's case is this build's authority for how a court's passing reference fixes (and does not fix) an incorporation fact, and it is cited here because the method travels.

Principal sources: the opinions as cited, read in the reporters and their online records; the Crime and Cemeteries legs for the cases as told.
