Cleveland Law Library Publishes Commemorative 150th Anniversary Video

In honor of the Cleveland Law Library's 150th Anniversary, our staff created a short, commemorative video which provides a brief history of the Law Library and contains excerpts from several of the oral histories we collected from our patrons and board members. This video is available on our YouTube page: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=As2wuiksKno&feature=youtu.be

We would to thank all of the individuals whose oral history recordings we excerpted to create our video, and we hope that you will find the video informative and enjoyable.

PACER Gets an Upgrade

Yesterday, the U.S. Courts Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) program got an upgrade. The good news is that the new site provides information on how to obtain some free opinions from govinfo.gov, but the bad news is that there are still no full-text or keyword search functions like all of the top legal research providers offer.

Changes at the Cleveland Law Library

To do our part in stopping the spread of Covid-19, the Cleveland Law Library has undergone various changes, noted below:

-Our front desk is equipped with a plexiglass shield to create a barrier between patrons and staff.

-We have distanced our patron computer work stations, opening our isolated public computer for member use as well. Additionally, we have a computer-equipped conference room for member use.

-We have further limited capacities for our conference rooms and have opened up our technology center to be used as an additional conference room. Please contact us for exact capacities.

-Designated seating is available at the tables in our main room. All computer work stations, seating, and conference rooms are sanitized after each use.

-The aisleways between ranges of books now have directional traffic patterns, and the balconies have been roped off to limit capacity and contamination. Patrons must now ask staff to retrieve volumes from the balconies.

-We have provided a tub of wipes in a central location to be used by anyone wishing to sanitize a workspace prior to sitting. A specified Covid-19 waste container is available for disposal of these wipes.

-A Purell sanitizer station is also available for use.
