Criteria for listing?[edit]

It is unclear what the criteria are for listing a case in this table, as it includes freedom suits, as well as cases related to determinations about slavery following the American Revolutionary War, relations between states, as well as relations between states and the federal government regarding slavery. There is already an article on freedom suits, which includes some well-known cases. This seems neither definitive nor broad - what is it supposed to include? Is it to include all local, state and national cases? Landmark cases? Too large a list could be unusable.Parkwells (talk) 21:59, 17 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
