Arrangements are maintained between the publisher and the upper courts, Federal and State, whereby early certified transcripts of opinions are procured. This is an important feature.

THERE IS NO OTHER SIMILAR PUBLICATION issued from any press in this country. This is the only depository where these decisions can be obtained in a body.
