How to use this template
This template is used to quote U.S. Supreme Court cases to provide the citation number, date, and a clickable link to look up the citation.
 * Usage:

where volume is the first number of the case citation, page is the second number, and year is the year the case was decided. This is usually included after naming a case, such as: Quality King Distributors, Inc. v. L'anza Research International, Inc.  .

To use this template, include this macro generally after the name of the case, as in the following examples.

If you were coding the following example, you might write
 * While the Canadian case of R. v. Morgentaler [1993] 3 S.C.R. 463, is considered equivalent to the U.S. case of Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973), it is usually considered closer to Doe v. Bolton, 410 U.S. 179 (1973).

and code it as
 * While the Canadian case of R. v. Morgentaler [1993] 3 S.C.R. 463, is considered equivalent to the U.S. case of Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973), it is usually considered closer to Doe v. Bolton, 410 U.S. 179 (1973).

and instead, code it as follows:
 * While the Canadian case of R. v. Morgentaler [1993] 3 S.C.R. 463, is considered equivalent to the U.S. case of Roe v. Wade,, it is usually considered closer to Doe v. Bolton ,.

which will display as
 * While the Canadian case of R. v. Morgentaler [1993] 3 S.C.R. 463, is considered equivalent to the U.S. case of Roe v. Wade,, it is usually considered closer to Doe v. Bolton,.

Which makes the court case number a clickable link allowing someone to read the actual case.
