This is the first and only comprehensive bibliography of American judicial proceedings before 1801. It lists the exact title of everything that was printed before 1801, except in newspapers, about actual judicial proceedings within the 1801 territorial boundaries of the United States. It also covers printed rules of court applicable to those proceedings, judicial proceedings in England relating to the American colonies, and American reprintings of the reports of English and European trials. The bibliography is organized chronologically by jurisdiction, and by subject. An Index of Parallel Entries provides cross-references to 66 other bibliographical sources.
