JCLL is currently without a librarian/director so updates and communication will be slow at best. We apologize for this inconvenience and we will let you know when this changes as soon as possible. In other news, the library has swapped to Lexis for its research platform! The current Westlaw subscription will expire at the end […]
Thanks to my children’s favorite author/illustrator, Sandra Boynton for making this reminder! On this illustrious day, we’re like to remind everyone to make sure your briefs are in order before appearing in court!
Your friendly neighborhood librarian just figured out he spelled ‘Statute’ as ‘Statue’ and then copy and pasted it on about a hundred files. If anyone needs me, I’ll be under my desk, quietly weeping.
Hello everyone! I apologize for the lack of updates, since the Fourth we’ve hit the ground running for updates for the library. There’s been a slew of filing updates to resources like Collier’s on Bankruptcy, Lawson’s on Employment Law, and many others!

Just as a heads up, the Library will be closed Monday, the 20th of June for the celebration of Juneteenth National Independence Day!

Now at first glance this is weird. Bees obviously aren’t fish – the court notes that in its ruling. What makes this interesting, in my opinion, […]
Good afternoon, everyone! TL:DR Phones are back online, CLEs are going great, and coffee is fresh! Phone lines are back up! Embarrassingly enough, they were just unplugged. Now that I know what boxes are our phone service, I will be prepared next time lightning strikes. Yesterday, we had a great CLE with Judge Thomson with […]
TL:DR – Phones are down! If you need me email info@jcll.org and I’ll be with you ASAP! Good afternoon, everyone. Note the lack of exclamation mark showing my lowered enthusiasm. Ok, so it’s story time: When I arrived last Monday, we had no internet. After running the troubleshooting wizard, it pointed me to the router. […]
