Digests are subject indexes to points of law raised or discussed in reported cases. They provide access through four approaches: topic, name of case, name of defendant or plaintiff, word or phrase. The American Digest System is a master index containing decisions from all written reports of all state and federal courts as reported in national and state reporter systems. The American Law Reports has its own digest system.
