Updated Coverage of Coeur d’Alene Tribe Misspelling

From How Appealing:

Even the Chief Justice of the United States misspells a case name every now and then: As though further proof that everyone’s human were needed, a reader emails to note that in his dissenting opinion issued today, Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr. has misspelled the “Coeur” in the case name Idaho v. Coeur d’Alene Tribe of Idaho as “Couer” some three times. So, the next time you happen to misspell a case name, remember that you’re in good company.

And in early news coverage of today’s ruling, The Associated Press reports that “Court reinstates Va. mental health lawsuit.”

In early 2009, a lovely new federal courthouse opened its doors in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, as noted in this earlier post. Coincidentally, the Chief Justice visited Idaho in 2009, although according to the University of Idaho College of Law the Chief Justicevisited in person only Boise and Moscow — and appeared in Coeur d’Alene only via compressed video feed.

Update: As of 4:10 p.m. eastern time, the Court has corrected the misspelling in the version of the decision available for download from the Court’s web site. The original version of the opinion containing the misspelling, which was available for download from the Court’s web site earlier today, can be accessed here.
