Website with access to publicly-searchable database containing an index and paraphrase of all printed Year Book reports (cases argued and determined in English law courts between 1268 and 1535). Contains over 22,000 records including all case reports printed in the entire chronological series of Year Books. All records identify the opening line of text (incipit), the length of the report, a full citation, and a unique identifying number, and, where possible, the type of lawsuit (writ), the names of parties, names of other persons and places mentioned, cross-references to the Abridgements and to related cases, and statutes cited or quoted. All cases before 1481 name every justice and lawyer who spoke or was mentioned in the report. All cases before 1481 that have never before been translated from the original Anglo-Norman law French have been substantially paraphrased. Full lists of keywords and descriptions of the process and pleading are given for all case reports from 1399 through 1481. Some records index and paraphrase cases that are only printed in the Abridgements under alphabetical headings.
