IDAHO DECISIONS.

1866 to 1913.

A complete set of Idaho Reports (down to 1913) consists of 21 vols. The Pacific Reporter, 128 vols., contains all Idaho decisions from and including vol. 2 (1881), and all decisions for the last 30 years of Arizona, California, Colorado, Kansas, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. Owing to the limited quantity of local precedents, it is necessary to go to other states for caselaw authorities, and the Pacific is usually regarded as indispensable.

The Idaho Code was adapted from that of California, and the decisions of that state are therefore followed closely by the Idaho courts. The Pacific Reporter contains nearly 70 per cent. of all the decisions as reported in the California Reports and, in addition, upward of 1,800 decisions omitted from the State Reports, and only published in the Reporter. The tables of cross-citations furnished with the Pacific make it a simple matter to find cases, even if cited to the State Reports only. Write for prices and full information.
