BUSL: Legal History: The Year Books

BUSL: Legal History: The Year Books: "Legal History: The Year Books

Medieval English Legal History
An Index and Paraphrase of
Printed Year Book Reports, 1268 - 1535
compiled by
David J. Seipp
(Seipp's Abridgement)"

Year Books are the law reports of medieval England. The earliest examples date from about 1268, and the last in the printed series are for the year 1535. The Year Books are our principal source materials for the development of legal doctrines, concepts, and methods from 1290 to 1535, a period during which the common law developed into recognizable form. About 20,000 individual reports or 'pleas' have been printed, and others remain in manuscript.
