West's Pacific reporter (WPR)
Journal Descriptions
West’s Pacific Reporter is a major regional legal reporter within the National Reporter System created by West Publishing, now part of Thomson Reuters. First issued in 1988, the reporter publishes appellate court opinions and judicial decisions from western states of the United States. It serves as an essential legal research resource for attorneys, judges, law libraries, scholars, and legal institutions. The publication contains officially reported decisions from state supreme courts and appellate courts, including headnotes, legal annotations, key number classifications, and citation references prepared by West editors. The reporter is widely cited in legal writing, judicial opinions, law review articles, and courtroom proceedings. Over time, the series evolved into multiple editions, including the Pacific Reporter Second Series (P.2d) and Pacific Reporter Third Series (P.3d), reflecting the continued growth of reported case law. Unlike scholarly academic journals, the Pacific Reporter functions as a legal reporting service that systematically organizes and publishes court decisions. It is one of the most influential regional reporters in American legal history and remains a core component of legal research systems in the United States. Today, digital access is available through Westlaw and Thomson Reuters legal research platforms.
