Abstract
"The first phase of law reporting in England lasted for just over two decades and largely coincided with the first half of the reign of Edward I. The earliest datable law reports to survive belong to the final years of reign of Henry III. They thus slightly predate Edward's accession to the English throne at the end of 1272..." - introduction
