West's Supreme Court reporter (WSCR)
Journal Descriptions
West’s Supreme Court Reporter is a major American legal reporter published by West Publishing (Thomson Reuters) that compiles decisions of the Supreme Court of the United States. It is part of the National Reporter System and is widely used by legal professionals, courts, law schools, and researchers for accessing authoritative case law. The reporter provides full-text Supreme Court opinions along with editorial enhancements such as headnotes, syllabus summaries, and the West Key Number System, which helps classify legal principles for easier research. Unlike the official United States Reports published by the government, West’s Supreme Court Reporter is an unofficial but highly influential parallel publication. It plays a critical role in legal citation and research because it often provides faster access to decisions through advance sheets before official publication. The publication typically includes cases argued and decided by the Supreme Court during each term and is released periodically during court sessions (semimonthly). Final bound volumes are issued after completion of a term. Since its integration into Thomson Reuters, the reporter has also been available digitally through Westlaw, making it one of the most widely used legal research tools in the United States legal system.
