Law reports or reporters are series of books that contain judicial
opinions from a selection of case law decided by courts. When a
particular judicial opinion is referenced, the law report series in
which the opinion is printed will determine the case citation format.
Elements:
1. Legal opinion:- In law, a legal opinion is usually a written explanation by a judge or group of judges that accompanies an order or ruling in a case, laying out the rationale and legal principles for the ruling. Opinions are usually published at the direction of the court, and to the extent they contain pronouncements about what the law is and how it should be interpreted, they reinforce, change, establish, or overturn legal precedent. If a court decides that an opinion should be published, the opinion is included in a volume from a series of books called law reports
2. Court:- A court is a tribunal, often a governmental institution, with the authority to adjudicate legal disputes between parties and carry out the administration of justice in civil, criminal, and administrative matters in accordance with the rule of law. In both common law and civil law legal systems, courts are the central means for dispute resolution, and it is generally understood that all persons have an ability to bring their claims before a court. Similarly, the rights of those accused of a crime include the right to present a defense before a court.
3. Case citation:- A legal citation is a "...reference to a legal precedent or authority, such as a case, statute, or treatise, that either substantiates or contradicts a given position."[1] Where cases are published in paper format, the citation usually contains the following information:
Report title
Volume number
Page number
Year of decision.
4. Case law:- Case law is the set of decisions of adjudicatory tribunals that can be cited as precedent. In most countries, including most European countries, the term is applied to any set of rulings on law which is guided by previous rulings, for example, previous decisions of a government agency - that is, precedential case law can arise from either a judicial ruling or a ruling of an adjudication within an executive branch agency. Trials and hearings that do not result in written decisions of a court of record do not create precedent for future court decisions.
Law reports are published depending on a country and they are published monthly, yearly, etc. In Bangladesh, there are some law reports, for example, Dhaka law report.
