I posted this question on the FAR's section just now but I figure a lot more people are viewing this section... so here is my question:

I have heard of a web site that answers the majority of questions about the FAR's and the answers are backed up by FAA court cases... so the answers to the questions are not simply based on someone's interpretation of what the FAR's mean, but what a court ruling has decided what the regs mean. Does anyone here know where I can find this web site. Thanks in advance for any comments.
 
Go to the FAA website, you'll have to look hard to find it but there is a link there that I believe is labeled "legal matters" or something like that. It is board rulings/briefs/outcomes of FAA legal matters. I haven't been to this site in month's but, I remember it made for some very interesting reading. You must be able to decipher a few legal terms.

I recall on case where a non-instrumenrt rated pilot took off in IFR conditions, got busted, pleaded "flight visiblity" at VFR minimums but lost his license anyhow.
A pilot "stole" his Lear from a paint shop, after a dispute over the bill and lost his license for taking off single pilot after the paint shop owner testified against him.
I remember a few padded logbook cases also. Good reading!
