Extractions: Prepared by Peggy Jarrett for LIS 545: Government Publications. The word "case" is often used interchangeably with "opinion" or "decision." It is the written resolution of the issues in dispute, written by a judge or a panel of judges. It is not a jury verdict. Juries decide facts; judges decide law. Cases come from courts. A generic court system consists of (1) trial courts, (2) intermediate appellate courts, and (3) the appellate court of last resort, which is often called the "Supreme Court." There are also specialized federal courts (Bankruptcy, Tax, etc.). On the state level, reported, or published, opinions generally come from the appellate courts not the trial courts. On the federal level, some trial court cases are reported. Remember that in a jury trial, there is nothing to "report" except a verdict. The full text of published opinions are printed in sets of books called reporters. Only those opinions that the court deems to have precedential value are published. Judges use these published cases to decide later cases involving similar facts or issues. When a court first releases an opinion, it is usually published as a single case in a pamphlet known as a "slip opinion." Multiple opinions are collected and published in soft-bound pamphlets called "advance sheets." Advance sheets are later replaced by bound volumes, known as "reports" or "reporters." The pagination in the advance sheets and the bound volumes is identical. A list of the major reporters held by the Gallagher Law Library can be found at
