Irish Reporters

Saint Patrick's Day is a time for everyone to reflect on connections with Ireland and the Irish people. The Oregon State Law Library is no exception. Our library and the Oregon legal community has a ancient connection with Ireland. Oregon and Ireland share the legal tradition known as the Common Law.

It is a partial measure of the Common Law's grandeur that places so distant can share a mutually comprehensible conversation about a topic as intimate as the law. The State of Oregon Law Library even has a extensive collection of Irish caselaw reporters.

Here are the title pages from two reporters. Can you tell what is different about the two books and how it reflects on Irish history?
