famous Lefkowitz v. Great Minneapolis Surplus Store, INC. 86 N.W.2d 689 (Minn. 1957)

What does the citation stand for? How do I say it in written form in a moot?

Not sure on the details of the citation but in a moot would you not just say: "Lefkowitz and Great Minneapolis Surplus Store"?

Apparently not.

Suite yourself, but criminal cases are spoken as "Crown against X" and civil cases are spoken "X and Y". As the case in question is a civil case, it should be spoken as such.

Yes, of course. But that wasn't my question. I want to know what the citation stands for. Not what the "v" stands for in a civil case!
