Southern Reporter

Southern Reporter is an edited compilation of US state court rulings and opinions from Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, and Mississippi, published by West Publishing, now part of Thomson Reuters. It is published in multiple editions, initially in individual issues or online files, and later in "permanent edition" bound volumes. (There is a Wikipedia article about this serial.)

Publication History

Southern Reporter began in 1887. A second series began in 1941, and a third in 1988. It is still published today. The first actively copyright-renewed issue is January 5, 1929 (v. 118 no. 17). We know of no actively copyright-renewed contributions. (More details) Judicial rulings and opinions are in the public domain in many states, but some states may claim copyright over them, and West also claims copyright over the notes it adds.
