Any Connecticut decision reported in the Atlantic Reporter and those Connecticut cases reported prior to the commencement of West’s National Reporter System are included. Kept current by cumulative annual pocket parts, pamphlets and replacement volumes. Found a Key Numbers digest for this title on Thomson Reuters but the three volume print set costs $10,810 with other options for individual volumes or monthly subscription at different prices. Not even sure this is the same thing since I don’t see a CD version and didn’t find it on West. I did, however, find some versions and volumes available on Amazon. ALSO ON WESSTLAW w/subscription
