separately. That they are important law cases has to be shown by other than HBS--leading cases widely quoted are suitable for articles. The general use of HBS cases is also fit for an article as a major teaching method akin to a textbook, but it needs 3rd party sources. Given the importance of the method, this should not be difficult.

The distinction is a very fine one, particularly when it comes to legal cases. We're talking about a historical event that can have significant influence on the present. I think it's fair to say that any case that is referenced in textbooks should have an article. I also believe it's fair to say
