Question: I need to find Virginia cases from right after the adoption of the state constitution.
Answer: The blue pages of the Bluebook provided information on the history of Virginia reports, including information that the court had been called the “Supreme Court of Appeals” and that volumes 1 and 2 of Virginia Reports were nominative reports by someone named Washington. Taking this information to our catalog we were able to link to the following electronic resource as part of the Eighteenth Century Collections online which we subscribe to:
Virginia. Supreme Court of Appeals. Reports of cases argued and determined in the Court of Appeals of Virginia. By Bushrod Washington. Vol. I-[II]. Vol. 1. Richmond, M,DCC,XCVIII[-MDCC,XCIX] [1798-1799]. 2 vols.
The two volumes are PDF images that are word searchable and are equipped with electronic tables of contents. The patron was very happy.
