Reporter (law) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (521 words)
The NRS is now the dominant unofficial reporter system in the U.S., and some smaller states have discontinued their own official reporters and certified the appropriate West reporter as their official reporter.
However, just as the U.K. government uses the ICLR reporters by default, the U.S. courts use the unofficial West federal reporters, which are the Federal Reporter (for circuits) and the Federal Supplement (for districts).
Reporters usually come in the form of sturdy hardcover books with most of the design elements on the spine (the part that a lawyer would be most interested in when searching for a case).
