Answer 2

Do you mean the briefs and memos filed by each party?
Or are you actually referring to the holding?

The holding is linked below. The suit was to challenge the US federal statute that defined who among the Cherokee were entitled to make land claims and who were not.

Basically, certian people had land-rights as of 1902. Laws in 1904 and 1906 changed (reduced) those rights, and the petitioners sued to declare the later laws unconstitutional.

Merit briefs are located at:
http://www.abanet.org/publiced/preview/briefs/home.html

Briefs written by the U.S. Solicitor General are always filed on the Department of Justice site: http://www.usdoj.gov/osg/briefs/search.html

Answer 4

LOOK AT FINDLAW.COM YOU MAY HAVE TO PAY BUT TO THAT GET A COLLEGE STUDENTS ID, AND USE THAT ID TO USE THE COLLEGE NATIONAL LIBRARY DATA BASE THEN GET TOT HE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN LAW SCHOOL THEY HAVE A GOOD LISTING OF ALL BRIEFS

ALSO THE US SPREME COURT HAS THEM, BUT NOT ALL MAY BE ON LINE, AND MAY BE EXPENSIVE

DID YOU GOOGLE AND YAHOO IT AND TYPE IN PLAINTIFF BRIEFS

NATIONAL ARCHIEVES, AND THE US SOLITICTOR GENERAL'S OFFICE, HE REPRESENTS THE US IN ALL US SUPREME COURT CASES AND IN FEDERAL APPEALS CASES, THEY HAVE ALL BRIEFS; HAVE COPIES OF ALL FEDERAL BRIEFS FILED IN FEDERAL COURT

ASK YOUR CONGRRSSMAN AND US SENATOR TO GET IT.

You can always try Wikipedia for explainations on the case. Personally, I use this website:
