Lawyers' Edition

TheUnited States Supreme Court Reports, Lawyers' Edition,orLawyers' Edition(L. Ed.andL. Ed. 2dincase citations), is an unofficialreporterofSupreme Court of the United States opinions.TheLawyers' Editionwas established by theLawyers Cooperative Publishing CompanyofRochester, New Yorkin 1882, and features coverage of Supreme Court decisions going back to 1790.^[1]The firstLawyers' Editionseries corresponds to the officialUnited States Reportsfromvolume 1tovolume 351,whereas the second series contains cases starting from the official reportervolume 352.^[2]It is currently published byLexisNexis.

TheLawyers' Editiondiffers from the official reporter in that the editors writeheadnotesand case summaries, as well as provide annotations to some cases, and decisions are published far in advance of the official reporter. As such, it is similar toWest'sunofficialSupreme Court Reporter(S. Ct.).Lawyers' Editioncase reports differ fromSupreme Court Reportercase reports in three respects. First, coverage inSupreme Court Reporterdoes not begin untilJohnson v. Waters,108 U.S. 4 (1882), whileLawyers' Editioncovers opinions back to the first volume ofUnited States Reports.Second, while both reporters contain headnotes written by the reporters' editors, theLawyers' Editionheadnotes are not keyed to theWest American Digest System's topic and key number system.^[2]Third,Lawyers' Editionhistorically included analytical articles, referred to as "annotations", similar to those contained inAmerican Law Reports;these annotations were eventually discontinued.

International Thomson Organizationacquired Lawyers Cooperative Publishing in 1989, shortly before it merged with Thomson Newspapers to become theThomson Corporation.LexisNexis(parent of the Michie Company) acquired the rights to theLawyers' Edition,along with a number of other law publications and related assets, from the Thomson Corporation in January 1997. Thomson, in acquiringWest Publishing,was required to divest itself of many titles through aconsent decreeby theUnited States Department of Justice.^[2]
