For purposes of citation, Illinois Reports and Illinois Reports Second are abbreviated "Ill." and "Ill. 2d"; although, the oldest volumes are abbreviated "Breeze"[2], "Gilm."[3], and "Scam."[4], for Breeze's Illinois Reports, Gilman's Illinois Reports, and Scammon's Illinois Reports.
The publication is separate from Illinois Decisions--a popular unofficial reporter also published by Thomson Reuters--that contains additional materials, such as the West Key Number System.
