Introduction
For legal professionals, research isn't just a task—it's an integral part of practice, drawing from both modern tools and the rich tapestry of legal history. With the evolution of legal databases like CLJPrime and the incorporation of the prestigious ICLR Reports, the landscape of legal research is undergoing a transformative change.

The Evolution and Importance of the ICLR
Long before digital tools simplified legal research, law reporting was the primary method of disseminating judicial decisions. These reports allowed the public and professionals to be apprised of the law and its interpretations. However, prior to 1865, this system was rather erratic. Without a reliable set of reports, it became challenging to ascertain definitive past decisions. This inconsistency even gave courts the leeway to doubt and dismiss certain precedents, as illustrated by the humorous anecdote about the law reporter Mr. Barnardiston.

The inception of the Incorporated Council of Law Reporting (ICLR) in 1865 was a watershed moment. The ICLR, with its rigorous standards, brought structure and credibility to law reporting. Post-1865, draft reports from the ICLR were meticulously reviewed by judges to ensure accuracy, also encapsulating the parties' arguments for a clearer context of disputes.
