The first North Carolina appellate court, created in 1799, was called the Court of Conference. It consisted of several Superior Court judges who met twice each year to review appeals from their own courts. It was renamed the Supreme Court in 1805 and was reorganized as a distinct body in 1818. Also known as the Conference Reports, this volume contains cases from 1800 to 1804. It is the first compilation of North Carolina Supreme Court reports. Wallace, The Reporters (1882) 584.
