   Commenter jgshapiro [1]asks, apropos [2]a recent case that used the
   term,

     A side note, but when is the last time you heard a judge refer to
     someone as a "Jewess"?

   Well, if you do a Westlaw search for the term, the immediately
   preceding case is In re B.C., 680 N.E.2d 1355 (Ill. 1997), with the
   following notation in the list of amici (granted, seemingly put there
   by West Publishing and not by [3]the court):

     Gary Feinerman, Mayer, Brown & Platt and Jenner & Block, Chicago,
     for the American Jewess Congress.

   And, yes, it's that way in the printed reporter.
