Annual reports of the Attorney General of Massachusetts: annual, state printer, 1832–, Boston, State printers, 1832– (The office of Attorney General in Massachusetts dates to the 1780 Constitution. A statute of 1832 set the requirement for annual reports, which continued thereafter. Opinions began to be included along with the annual reports in the 1890s. However, while Massachusetts maintained this pattern with some consistency, in many of the other states the original paper versions of the attorney generals’ reports and opinions were sometimes published together, sometimes separately, and in some years only reports or only opinions were published; making for a confusing literature. To minimize this confusion in its online offerings, LLMC has chosen to group all of the U.S. state attorney generals’ reports and opinions in two separate series for each state. For the Massachusetts A.G. Opinions, see the separate Opinions series elsewhere on this site.) Senate No. 1 The 1833 report was the first after the criminal jurisdiction was expanded in the Court of Common Pleas and only covered five months of work. The Attorney General offered opinions on the working of the new system and sent statistical reports about number of cases handled, etc. (Digitized from a microfilm copy of title originally held by the Massachusetts State Library).
