The Notable British Trials series is a collection of 83 separate volumes containing the most complete record of well known trials, published by William Hodge & Co between 1905 and 1959. The majority of the series deals with murder trials, although other cases including civil law trials are included. The series was started as a hobby by a Scottish court reporter and developed into "a great scholarly enterprise" according to the historian of crime Richard Whittington-Egan.
