Scope and Contents
The bulk of this series of legal documents includes cases on which various nineteenth century figures worked, including John T. Stuart, Stephen T. Logan, and William H. Herndon.

A majority of these documents provide insight to the legal environment of Lincoln's time, such as legal records from Sangamon County, Illinois.
