Cross-citation tables make the cases perfectly available, however cited. The cost of the set is less than one-fifth the cost of the corresponding State Reports.

The Northwestern is generally regarded by the Iowa lawyer as indispensable. As one of the well-known attorneys and statesmen puts it: "We would as soon think of keeping house without a cook stove as to try and practice law without the Northwestern." Write us for full description and price.
