| | Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court |
 | | Three Reporters have served in the Massachusetts Legislature, one as a judge of the Superior Court, one as Attorney General of Massachusetts, four as Associate Justices of the Supreme Judicial Court, one as Chief Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court, and one as an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. |
 | | The printed advance sheets and bound volumes remain the official publication of the courts' decisions and the bound volumes continue to be the official archive of the courts' decisions. |
 | | In addition to the opinion of the court, a slip opinion contains the catchwords (but not the headnotes prepared by the office of the Reporter of Decisions), which alert the reader to the kind of case that is being released, a statement of the procedural history of the case, and a listing of appellate counsel. |
