Abstract
Traditionally, appellate courts in all states have published the reports of the highest and intermediate courts.1 In recent years legal historians have written on the history of court reporting and court reports.2 Many famous judges and lawyers throughout the country gained important reputations for their reporting. As court reports became more commonplace, however, the review of these reports lessened. Throughout the nineteenth century the development of court reports received attention from the legal community through reviews in many of the leading periodicals of the day. By 1900, few individual state reports were reviewed in the periodical literature. Reports were no longer cited by the named reporter (although still listed on the spine of the book), but became just a numbered series.
