Docket No. Op. Below Argument Opinion Vote Author Term
12-853 7th Cir. N/A N/A N/A N/A OT 2012

Issue: Whether the required records doctrine can be invoked to "override" or "supersede" the Fifth Amendment act-of-production privilege that concededly arises when, as here, the record-keeping requirement presumptively applies to all taxpayers and the compelled production of records would be testimonial and incriminatory.
