United States Reports
The cases of the Supreme Court of the United States are published officially in the United States Reports. The volumes are compiled and published for the Court by the Reporter of Decisions. A volume of the United States Reports also usually contains a list of Justices and officers of the Court during the Term; an allotment of Justices by circuit; announcements of Justices’ investitures and retirements; memorial proceedings for deceased Justices; a cumulative table of cases reported; orders in cases decided in summary fashion; reprints of amendments to the Supreme Court’s Rules and the various sets of Federal Rules of Procedure; a topical index; and a statistical table summarizing case activity for the past three Court Terms.
This collection includes volumes 2 through 501. Volumes 502 through present are available from the U.S. Supreme Court. The early volumes were privately published by the reporter, so the name of the reporter who compiled the volume appears in the United States Reports citation. In addition to U.S. Supreme Court cases, volumes 2-4 contain cases from Pennsylvania, the U.S. Court of Appeals, and the U.S. Circuit Court. In this collection, the Pennsylvania cases are only available in the full volume. Volume 1 contains only Pennsylvania cases, so is not included in this collection.
