While legal historians and law librarians often have discussed what books lawyers owned in past historical periods, they have less frequently examined the use that lawyers made of the books they owned. Mr. Emery examines the purposes for which the Alabama Supreme Court and its bar cited legal publications in the first year of the court�s existence, 1820�21. He concludes that they were primarily cited to help determine procedural issues, with substantive law issues definitely a secondary consideration.
