There was, until today, a thread on the Rules of Grammar, rehashing the SovCit (and other) silliness about official and court papers that put the party's name in block letters (=all-caps). I was going to contribute what I thought was important info to that thread but today found it Locked.
I wanted to mention the court decision in Jaeger v. Dubuque County (ND Iowa 1995) 880 F.Supp 640 (at 643) aff'd 113 F.3d 1238, which discussed this at length.

Briefly put, the practice of putting the name(s) of the relevant person(s) in block letters dates way back to the dim epochs before the typewriter (an implement of ancient times that replaced writing on wet clay), when legal papers were written by hand - and also when a large portion of the population could barely read. In those circumstances it was felt necessary to make the crucial names stand out and be immediately recognized by putting them in block letters. This practice continued when typewriters came into use because of their limitations (compared to PCs). And by now the practice is so ingrained that it is not merely customary but, in many jurisdictions, required by local court rules. Numerous court cases have CONSISTENTLY held that putting the names into block letters (all-caps) did not work any sort of alchemy on the people so named.
If it is possible, I would like the forum rules bent to have this message added to that locked thread.
Mod Note: I added this post to the locked thread. I agreed with fortinbras that legal reality, complete with citation, should have the last word.
