Assume that you want to read the court’s entire opinion in the case of Baker v. Premo, 268 Or.App. 406, 342 P.3d 142 (2015). Read the section entitled “Finding Case Law” in the appendix that follows this chapter, and then explain specifically where you would find the court’s opinion.

Finding Case Law:
Before discussing the case reporting system, we need to look briefly at the court system. There are two types of courts in the United States: federal courts and state courts. Both the federal and state court systems consist of several levels, or tiers, of courts. Trial courts, in which evidence is presented and testimony is given, are on the bottom tier (which also includes lower courts handling specialized issues). Decisions from a trial court can be appealed to a higher court, which commonly is an intermediate court of appeals, or an appellate court. Decisions from these intermediate courts of appeals may be appealed to an even higher court, such as a state supreme court or the United States Supreme Court.

State Court Decisions:
Most state trial court decisions are not published (except in New York and a few other states, which publish selected trial court opinions). Decisions from state trial courts are typically filed in the office of the clerk of the court, where the decisions are available for public inspection. (Increasingly, they can be found online as well.) Written decisions of the appellate, or reviewing, courts, however, are published and distributed (in print and online). As you will note, most of the state court cases presented in this book are from state appellate courts. The reported appellate decisions are published in volumes called reports or reporters, which are numbered consecutively. State appellate court decisions are found in the state reporters of that particular state. Official reports are published by the state, whereas unofficial reports are published by nongovernment entities.

Regional Reporters
State court opinions appear in regional units of West’s National Reporter System, published by Thomson Reuters. Most lawyers and libraries have these reporters because they report cases more quickly and are distributed more widely than the state-published reports. In fact, many states have eliminated their own reporters in favor of West’s National Reporter System. The National Reporter System divides the states into the following geographic areas: Atlantic (A., A.2d, or A.3d), North Eastern (N.E. or N.E.2d), North Western (N.W. or N.W.2d), Pacific (P., P.2d, or P.3d), South Eastern (S.E. or S.E.2d), South Western (S.W., S.W.2d, or S.W.3d), and Southern (So., So.2d, or So.3d). (The 2d and 3d in the abbreviations refer to Second Series and Third Series, respectively.) The states included in each of these regional divisions are indicated in Exhibit 1A–1, which illustrates west’s National Reporter System.

Case Citations
After appellate decisions have been published, they are normally referred to (cite) by the name of the case and the volume, name, and page number of the reporter(s) in which the opinion can be found. The citation first lists information from the state’s official reporter (if different from West’s National Reporter System), then the National Reporter, and then any other selected reporter. (Citing a reporter by volume number, name, and page number, in that order, is common to all citations.) When more than one reporter is cited for the same case, each reference is called a parallel citation.
