are called parallel citations. In the example, the parallel citations are volume 57 of the U.S. Supreme Court Reports, Lawyers Edition, Second Series at page 750; and volume 98 of Supreme Court Reporter at page 2733. A set of reporter volumes numbered consecutively is called a series. The abbreviation 2d or 3d stands for Second Series or Third Series. The year 1978 in the parentheses tells you the year the court decided the case. In the last thirty years, we now have electronic storage and retrieval of court cases; therefore, in our example above, 1978 U.S. LEXIS 5 refers us to the specific electronic citation for the Bakke decision within LEXIS.
