* “The distinctive features of the Lawyers Edition are first its
completeness, since it reprints every case in all of the original
reports (U.S. Reports vols. 1-351), and prints some that were
omitted from them; second, the retention, in most cases, of summaries
of the arguments of counsel; third, the addition of extensive
annotations; fourth, retention of original page numbering in brackets,
e.g. (*282), so that the same citations serve for them and for
the original reports; fifth, uniformity in style of printing throughout
the entire series, which is not the fact with the original reports;
and sixth, minimum shelf space required...” Hicks, Materials
and Methods of Legal Research. 3d rev. ed. 141. See illustration
