SOUTH DAKOTA DECISIONS.

1867 to 1909.

A complete set of Reports for South Dakota (down to 1909) consists of:

Dakota Territorial, 6 vols., 1867-1889.

South Dakota, 20 vols., 1889-1909.

All Dakota decisions, territorial and of both states, are reported in the Northwestern Reporter, 119 vols. The set also contains all decisions for the last 30 years of Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Wisconsin, and sells for less than one-fifth of the cost of the corresponding State Reports. The tables of cross-citations furnished with the Northwestern make it a simple matter to find cases, even if cited by the State Reports page and volume. The limited quantity of local case law, and the fact that the decisions of the neighboring states are constantly cited, makes this set a necessity to the lawyer practicing in South Dakota.
