Comments from Visitors to the Appellate Counsellor Home Page:

Sidney Thaxter (1/23/98): I am curious if Judge Thaxter is related to the Thaxter's from Hingham MA or Sidney ST. F. Thaxter of the Maine Supreme Judicial Court.
Anonymous (6/28/01): I wish Justice Thaxter and others would stop putting all citation sin footnotes. Separating the citation from the substantive legal point makes legal database research more difficult.
