Tips for using the Subject Matter Index online:

  • First use the Table of Topics and Subtopics at the beginning of Volume 2 to find the subjects you are researching.
  • In Volume 2, you can then move to the page number for the topic of interest to you, to see the citations and short descriptions of decisions related to that topic. 
  • For complete research, you should also review the listings of earlier (pre-2000) decisions for your topic or subtopic in Volume 1.  For example, the leading cases may be cited in Volume 1.
  • Because there is no Table of Topics and Subtopics in this interim website version of Volume 1, you will need to move through Volume 1 to find the topic you want.
  • When downloading or printing Volume 1 or Volume 2, keep in mind that these are large documents, currently 226 pages for Volume 1 and 308 pages for Volume 2.  Make sure your computer has sufficient capacity to perform these operations.
  • We recommend printing each volume double-sided and 3-hole punched if your printer supports these features, then placing your printed volume/s in a ring binder for future reference.
  • Introductory material at the beginning of each volume provides additional information.
