Table title, legend, and column-headers. The title includes "on [area of law]" if passed as the first parameter:

{{Criminal case law entry}}

A criminal law case, to be displayed as a row in the table. Some named parameters can be used to specify certain details that affect formatting:

  • {{Criminal case law entry | case name| year| citation| state| doctrine| court's decision}}
  • {{Criminal case law entry | case name| year| citation| state| doctrine| court's decision|common=y}}
    If |common= is non-blank, the case deals with non-statutory or common law crimes, and the row is formatted differently.
  • {{Criminal case law entry | case name| year| citation| state| doctrine| court's decision|statute=y}}
    If |statute= is non-blank, the case deals with statutory crimes that are not Model Penal Code, and the row is formatted differently.
  • {{Criminal case law entry | case name| year| citation| state| doctrine| court's decision|MPC=y}}}}
    If |MPC= is non-blank, the case deals with crimes under the Model Penal Code and state penal codes based on the Model Penal Code, and the row is formatted differently.

{{Criminal case law end}}
