Services Provided to the Courts by Other Departments

  • Moving bookcases and other furniture, and shifting books and papers, either within a chamber, or from one chamber to another: call the Judicial Services Officer who can coordinate moves with Court Facilities, and the library will work with Facilities if books are involved.

  • Legal research questions: call the Legal Research department

Other Services Available from the Law Library

If you should need an article, book, or case not available in your collection or from a shared library, we may be able to provide it from our collection. The library reference desk number is 874-6012. For the Branch library, call 875-3490. Please send court staff to pick up or copy requested items. Our staff size prohibits us from providing a delivery service for library materials. Materials can be returned to the Law Library box in the downtown courthouse mailroom, via inter-office mail (to mail code 115-01), or to the library’s book drop on H Street near Sixth Street.

Please visit the library’s website to search our catalog or access more information about our services.
