"This work is a testament to the value of these digital records and the work behind transcribing them. Similarly, it is itself evidence of how a diverse range of voices, accounts, and approaches can all be unified by reference to one particular source. The work not only seeks to understand a historical legal culture but also represents something of a new scholarly culture that highlights the individual and the particular in legal history."
