ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

South Western Reporter

Ok kiddo, let me explain what the South Western Reporter is all about. Have you ever heard of a book that has stories and information about different court cases? Well, the South Western Reporter is a book just like that, but it has stories only about court cases that happened in the southwestern region of the United States.

So imagine you live in Texas, and your parents have a legal case in court. That case might be written down in a legal document called a "reporter," and if it happens in the southwestern area of the US, it might end up in the South Western Reporter.

This book is very important because it helps lawyers and judges understand how certain cases were resolved in the past. It's kind of like a big library of stories about court cases that happened in Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and other states in the southwest.

The South Western Reporter is not just one book, though. It's actually a series of books that come out every year, and they keep adding new court cases to it as they happen. So it's a very big collection of stories that lawyers and judges use to help them make their decisions in court.
