Are the cases in print reporters always available in electronic databases?

The assertion that cases in print reporters are not always available in electronic databases is accurate because not every jurisdiction or court case has been digitized and made available online. While many court opinions are now available electronically for ease of access, some jurisdictions may still have gaps in their electronic coverage. These gaps can occur due to several factors, including varying practices in filing and archiving files, the age of the cases, or simply the resources available for digitization projects.

Additionally, not all cases receive the same level of attention or importance, which can impact their availability in electronic form. Therefore, while major precedents are typically included in legal databases, lesser-known or older cases may only be found in print reporters or may not be digitized at all. This inconsistency between print and electronic formats results in the conclusion that the availability of cases in print reporters does not guarantee their presence in electronic databases.
