FAQ: How Do I Know if the Book I Want is Available to Check Out at Your Tumwater Location? When the law library moved during the renovation of the Temple of Justice, we could not bring every book with us. Unfortunately, we are not able to visit the Temple during the renovation to retrieve books we had to leave behind. In order to ensure that we have the book you need here in Tumwater, look for “ Town Center ” in the book record in our catalog. You can even filter your search to only Town Center books by selecting that location under the “ Refine Your Search ” menu. You ’ re also welcome to contact us to verify. If we don ’ t have the book you ’ re looking for, we can try to find it at another library through interlibrary loan. This free service is available to WSBA members. You must be able to pick up and return the book at our Tumwater location to check out books using interlibrary loan.
Need Briefs?
Did you know that the law library has the largest collection of appellate briefs in the state? If you need a brief to review for your case, we can scan a PDF copy for you. Our collection consists of Court of Appeals briefs for published cases and Supreme Court briefs. Please email your case citation or case number to library.requests@courts.wa.gov for this free service. Please allow up to 48 hours after your request to receive the scan.
