As part of this mission, the Law Library strives to provide access to legal materials and related resources needed for legal research by members of the bar, the judiciary and the public.

 NEWS*********

Law Library Has Restored Normal Operating Hours The Lane County Law Library is now open regular hours, which are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.   Some of our collection (i.e., microfilm of appellate court briefs and legislative history materials) is still unavailable while we continue our efforts to clean and restore items damaged by water.    But the main reading room (with 90% of our most frequently used resources), plus our computers with access to Westlaw, Lexis Online, law review articles, etc. are all are functioning and open to  patrons.   If you have  questions about the availability of particular resources, please call  541-682-4337 for more information.  And if a particular volume or resource is still "out at the cleaners" we will help you find alternative resources.
