    • JEHU COURT CASE AT ILLINOIS STATE ARCHIVES

      Janis: We do possess the Supreme Court Case File for Dorsey v. Wolcott. It is too large for us to copy but it is available for public research at the Illinois State Archives. The Supreme Court Case Files are filed by a vault number, which is different than the case number. The vault number for this particular case is 7806 should you ever need to reference it to have it pulled.

      If you have any other questions please feel free to contact me.


      Sincerely,
