Record of cases decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. The Supreme Court Reporter is a privately produced series published by West Publishing Company of St. Paul, Minnesota. The series provides summaries of case fact situations and the full text of all opinions issued. West also uses a “key” system of reference numbers through which topics and subtopics are classified. This facilitates finding related materials in other sources. The text of decisions is published on a twice-a-month basis. These materials are subsequently released in hardbound volumes at the conclusion of a Court term. Cases may be located by a citation that refers to volume and page. The Supreme Court Reporter citation for Miranda v. Arizona is 86 S. Ct. 1602 (1966). This means the Miranda case was decided in 1966 and can be found on page 1602 of volume 86 of the Supreme Court Reporter.
