Law reports are? ． Law reports are publications. ． They are series of books that contain judicial opinions from a selection of case law decided by courts. ． When a particular judicial opinion is referenced, the law report series in which the opinion is printed will determine the case citation format.

Law reports are? ． Such as Council of Law Reporting, Butterworth’s All England Law Reports [All ER] and Lloyds Law Reports.

Value ． Law reports are very important because the development and application of the common law system depend on a comprehensive system of reporting cases.

Value ． Law reports are also important to those who work related to law, such as lawyers and judges. ． In common law country, court opinions are legally binding under the rule of stare decisis.

Value ， This rule requires a court to apply a legal principle that was set forth earlier by a court of the same jurisdiction dealing with a similar set of facts. ． So the regular publication of such opinions is important.

Council of Law Reporting ． Council of Law Reporting are published by Incorporated Council of Law Reporting [ICLR] which a registered charity based in London, England.

Council of Law Reporting ． Council of Law Reporting are perhaps the most authoritative and frequently cited set of reports. ． Because they contain summaries of counsel’s arguments and are revised by the judge sitting in each respective case before publication.

The End Thank you for your listening.
