HeinOnline Unveils Database of Nominative Reports From the U.K., the U.S., and Ireland

HeinOnline released a new database: Nominative Reports (English, Irish, and American). For the first time, “the most comprehensive collection of rare nominative reports [is] available online from the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the United States. Together, these collections contain nearly three million pages of rare and hard-to-find reports.” Nominative reports documented court decisions in the time before formalized court reporting, beginning in 16th-century England.

The database contributes “to the preservation of case law while adding current natural language and artificial intelligence tools to allow researchers to search and explore these documents like they’ve never been able to before.”
