ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Law report

Okay, kiddo! A law report is kind of like a story book, but for grown-ups who work in a special job called the law. In this book, they write down very important information about what happened in court – like who won the case, what arguments people made, and what laws they used to make their point.

It's important because if someone else has a similar problem in the future, they can look at the law report to see how other people solved the problem before. It's kind of like reading a book about how to solve a puzzle, only the puzzle is about laws and rules.

So, lawyers and judges use law reports to help them make decisions and understand how to apply the law. It's kind of like a map that helps them find their way through the complicated world of the law!
