The documentation preserved for each case is both extensive and varied in nature, providing good evidence of the gestation of a judgment. The records related to the cases included the Chief Justice's Motion books, files documenting leaves to appeal and correspondence files.

This series includes also administrative and subject files as well as files relating to the Canadian Judicial Council. The administrative files include general correspondence, letters of congratulation, correspondence about speeches, and they document diplomatic and other official engagements, ceremonies, and the law clerks who worked for Brian Dickson. The Canadian Judicial Council files include correspondence, committee reports, annual meeting files, and material on judicial salaries.
