Historic Mining Case Law

Welcome to my library of historic mining case law! The mining case law collection has reporters, abstracts, and a digest. The Mining Reports series addresses cases in American, English, and Canadian reporters.

Also check out my Historic Mining Statutes page.

The Historic Mining Law collection is accessed through the Law: Special Topics Index section of the Law Library Index.

I wrote a blog post introducing the historic mining law collection.
