Rows of bound law reports stretch down a library aisle, their spines lettered in gold and dark leather, the kind of collection a working lawyer or court clerk would have reached for daily. Reports like these recorded the written opinions of appellate judges, so each volume served as a precedent-bearing record that lawyers cited in arguing new cases. Before digital databases, a firm's library of such volumes was both a working tool and a sign of professional standing. Look closely at the uniform bindings and the way the sets are shelved by series and volume number, which reflects how carefully legal knowledge was once organized.
