The records of the Judicial Council cover both the Methodist Church and the United Methodist Church from 1940 to 2002. The collection is comprised of printed and published decisions, meeting minutes and other administrative material and case files related to various decisions. Case decisions 727 to 734 are not missing, but were originally referred back to another session of the Judicial Council and then renumbered as 736, 737, 738, 740, 741, 742, 750, and 751.
