The first series, Legal Treatises, 1800–1926, covers the landmark period of legal development in America and Great Britain during the 19th and early 20th centuries. The second series, U.S. Supreme Court Records and Briefs, 1832-1978, contains a comprehensive collection of records and briefs brought before the nation's highest court by leading legal practitioners that includes transcripts, applications for review, motions, petitions, supplements and other official papers of the most-studied and talked-about cases.
