Here are two mini-presentations prepared by students in the Court of Appeals Intensive Seminar. One looks at voting patterns in Judge Abdus-Salaam's majority opinions, and the other in her dissents.
It should be noted that, in a decision last week, In Re Brooke S.B., Judge Abdus-Salaam authored a magnificent opinion for the Court on the rights of de facto parents, vindicating a similarly magnificent dissent by then-Judge Judith Kaye in Alison D. (1991), and explicitly overruling that decision which was rendered in one of those shamefully superficial unsigned majority opinions.
