Use Westlaw to look up In re Hall. You must log in through the ND Library web page to have proper access permission. At the top of the case you will see "KeyCite Citing References for this Headnote" which is a system developed by West Publishing to catalog legal issues. You will see the second one is Patents -> Patentability -> Anticipation -> Prior Description in Printed Publication -> k. Requisites of Publication. You can click on those links to find other cases that deal with issues related to that category. Use the West KeyCite system to find another case dealing with a different type of "Printed Publication" such as advertisements, computer manuals, etc. Try to find one that is different and interesting, i.e., not the first one that comes up on the list. I think you don't want to use the "k. Requisites of Publication" necessarily, but probably the one right above it. Create a wiki page with a one-paragraph description of the facts of the case and the holding. Be sure to include which court it was.
