(1215-1914). With the collaboration of ten free access international Legal
Information Institutes, and other partners, it will include reported cases from
superior courts in all common law jurisdictions, from the earliest decisions in
each jurisdiction. Databases of other key materials (treatises, legislation,
treaties etc) will also be added. Case law extracted from newspaper prior to
formal law reporting will be included where possible. Citations for all
documents added will expand greatly the LawCite automated citator’s coverage of
the history of the whole of the common law world, linking the past and present
of the common law.
