The nominate reports, also known as nominative reports,[ English Legal History. Duke University.][See also Case citation#Supreme Court of the United States] named reports and private reports,[O Hood Phillips and A H Hudson. A First Book of English Law. Seventh Edition. Sweet & Maxwell. London. 1977. . Page 172.] are the various published collections of Law report of cases in English courts from the Middle Ages to the 1860s.
Most (but not all) are reprinted in the English Reports.[Glanville Williams, Learning the Law, 11th Edition, 1982, Stevens, p.34; 13th Edition, 2006, Sweet and Maxwell, p.36 (less clear)] They are described as "nominate" (named) in order to distinguish them from the Year Books, which are anonymous.[Blunt, Adrian. In R G Logan (editor). Information Sources in Law. Butterworths. London. 1986. p 49.]
An example of a nominate report is Edmund F. Moore's Reports of Cases Heard and Determined by the Judicial Committee and the Lords of His Majesty's most Honourable Privy Council on Appeal from the Supreme and Sudder Dewanny Courts in the East Indies, published in London from 1837 to 1873, referred to as Moore's Indian Appeals and cited for example as: Moofti Mohummud Ubdoollah v. Baboo Mootechund 1 M.I.A. 383.
In the 1860s, law reporting in England was taken over by the Incorporated Council of Law Reporting, ending the practice of nominate reports.
