The Supreme Court set aside the submission of a school district's insurance dispute case and restored it to the docket because both parties failed to comply with Rule 21 by not printing the relevant Nebraska statutes at length in their briefs, and the Court used the decision to emphasize the importance of strict adherence to procedural rules designed to facilitate case review.

4Civered the opinion of the court.
' This cause was submitted on the 6th of January under the 20th Rule. Its decision depends on a careful consideration of several statutes of Nebraska. Rule 21 provides (par. 4, subdivision 8) that “ when a statute of a State is cited, so much thereof as may be deemed necessary to the decision of the case shall be printed at length,” either in or with the brief. That rule has been entirely disregarded by both parties in this case. For this reason the submission is set aside and the cause restored to its place on .the docket.
We must insist on a strict observance by counsel of all rules intended to facilitate our examination of causes, especially those submitted. Although in general the statutes of the States are to be found in the Congressional Library, we do not have-them at our rooms, where necessarily cases are investigated. A little trouble on the part of counsel in obeying this particular rule, will expedite materially our labors. We take this opportunity of calling special attention to this subject.
