Publications containing case law and legal precedents are known as?

• A. Evidence
• B. Law Reports
• C. Opinion
• D. Media Reports

Answer: (B)

Law reports are publications that compile court decisions and the reasons behind them, providing authoritative, citable material that lawyers and judges rely on to see how the law has been interpreted in prior cases. They include the full judgments, headnotes, and references, organizing decisions so practitioners can find relevant precedents quickly. This makes them distinct from evidence, which refers to material used in a trial to prove facts, and from media reports, which cover cases in journalism but do not establish legal precedents. The term specifically denotes the official record of judgments and the legal principles they establish for future reference.
