parallel citation

A quick definition of parallel citation:

A parallel citation is when a court case is reported in more than one book. It's like having different versions of the same story. For example, instead of just saying "Morgan v. United States, 304 U.S. 1 (1938)," you might also say "Morgan v. United States, 304 U.S. 1, 58 S.Ct. 773, 82 L.Ed. 1129 (1938)." This helps people find the case in different places.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A parallel citation is an additional reference to a legal precedent or authority that has been reported in more than one reporter. It is often used to provide multiple sources for a case.

Example: In a legal citation, a parallel citation would look like this: "Morgan v. United States, 304 U.S. 1, 58 S.Ct. 773, 82 L.Ed. 1129 (1938)." The main citation is to the U.S. Reports, and the parallel citations are to the Supreme Court Reporter and to the Lawyer's Edition.

Explanation: The example shows how a parallel citation provides additional sources for a legal precedent. In this case, the same case has been reported in multiple reporters, and the parallel citation provides the reader with the option to look up the case in any of the three reporters.
