The National Reporter System covers the appellate courts of all the states and the District of Columbia. A map in the front of each regional reporter volume shows which states are included. The Second and Third Series of West's Regional Reporters are located in the Main Reading Room (MRR). The first series is available in microform in the Golding Media Center. There are also specialized West reporters for New York and California. All regional reporters are full-text searchable on Westlaw and Lexis.

Many states no longer have official reporters and cases are published in unofficial reporters, or in the West Regional Reporter Series only. Some states have official and unofficial reporters. See the blue pages in the Bluebook for particular states.
The library has official state reporters for all states that publish them. They are shelved with the state collections (other than NY) in the Golieb room. Some older state reporters can be found in microform in the Media Center.
