The Dane County Law Library will reopen at 1:00 p.m.

This year we are reprising our Helping Warm Hearts and Hands mitten and hat donation drive. The drive benefits Community Action Coalition (CAC).

Throughout December and into early January the State Law Library will collect donated mittens, hats, and scarves. Items of all sizes for adults and children are welcome through January 15, 2016. All donations will be taken to CAC for distribution to people in our community who need winter wear.

Bring your donations to the Wisconsin State Law Library circulation desk (the first desk you see when you walk in the door). You can donate at any time between now and January 15th.

Thank you!

We are proud to announce that Lynne Gehrke, branch librarian at the Milwaukee County Law Library (MCLL), is a 2015 Wisconsin Law Journal Unsung Hero.

Lynne has headed MCLL since 2010 and shepherded the library through three location changes within the courthouse.

Over the years, Lynne built great working relationships with all the courthouse staff. These relationships have directly improved the staff's ability to help everyone who uses the law library.

We're very pleased to see all of her work recognized. Congratulations, Lynne!

Effective December 1, 2015 official bankruptcy forms in use by U.S. Courts were replaced with revised, reformatted, and renumbered forms.

The Eastern District court website has a PDF file of all the revised forms and an attorney implementation guide. The Western District court website has a guide for attorneys about changes on the form and schedules.

We have several books in our collection about bankruptcy. One of these resources published by the National Consumer Law Center gives us access right now to brand new sample forms for a Chapter 7 case. Ask a librarian for help accessing these newly updated sample forms.

This month we have a lot of news to share. In a few weeks, on December 16, stop by the library for our annual open house and bring some mittens, gloves, or scarves to donate to the Community Action Coalition. We're collecting donations through the middle of January, so come on by - even if you can't make it to our open house.

This is also a great time of year to renew or sign up for your After Hours subscription. The subscription runs through the calendar year so subscribing early actually saves you money.

Also in this newsletter we tell you about big changes with the new American Law Reports (ALR) series, give you tips for managing passwords, and tell you more about our Prose & Cons fiction and movie collection. Read the whole newsletter on our website.

Where do you go when you need to write a social media policy – for your employees or to guide your business or agency’s use of these sites and apps? We have books and databases that can help.

The Wisconsin State Law Library (WSLL) as well as the Milwaukee and Dane County Law Libraries will be closed Thursday, November 26 in observance of the Thanksgiving Day state holiday. On Friday, November 27, the Dane County Law Library will remain closed but WSLL and MCLL will be open regular hours.

Would you like the convenience of using the State Law Library later in the evening or on weekends? You can - by becoming an After Hours subscriber. 

BadgerLink databases, like Academic Search Premier and Newspaper Source Plus, may be unavailable for a limited time this evening beginning at 8 p.m. and extending through 6 a.m. Friday morning.

This maintenance will not affect access to the Hein Online Law Journal Library or Index to Legal Periodicals. For a list of all databases available with your library card, see our Articles & Journals page.

This November our newsletter focuses on technology. Get tips for managing your smartphone, checking websites, and shopping smart online.

The Dane County Law Library hosts the Dane County Bar Association as they celebrate ABA's National Pro Bono Week. In the spirit of the week, free legal information will be provided by volunteers from the Dane County Bar Association.

The last week of October is National Pro Bono Week. This week shines a spotlight on pro bono work with special events for volunteer attorneys and the population they serve.



Wisconsin is fortunate to have many free or low cost legal assistance organizations. We list several of these by county on our website. If you are an individual looking for help, check our directory for an organization near you and ask local organizations if there are any special legal clinics this week.

Our county directory might also be useful for attorneys looking for opportunities to volunteer. Also, follow the Wisconsin Access to Justice Commission online; the Commission was created to support civil legal services for low income Wisconsin residents.

Are you an attorney looking for a new opportunity to volunteer? The Commission recently launched a new legal advice website, Wisconsin Legal Advice Online, and they are looking for attorneys to volunteer their time (which WisBar's InsideTrack appealingly calls, Pro Bono in Your Pajamas.)

This is the week to volunteer - or recognize those who are already volunteering. Learn how to nominate yourself or someone else for the Pro Bono Honor Society.

Federal Habeas Corpus Practice and Procedure helps attorneys navigate post conviction procedure. Organized according to the steps that a petitioner typically would take in a habeas corpus case, the book is easy to follow. It begins with post-conviction remedies and subject-matter jurisdiction, and then continues with the filing of the petition, pre-filing and post-filing stays, various pleadings that may be filed, proceedings that may be held, procedural defenses, post-judgment proceedings, and appeals. 

Now is the time to polish your WestlawNext skills! Learn more about our classes and register online.

July marks the 25th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Did you know that the library has several books on disability law in Wisconsin and the U.S.? We have featured several books and library databases in the past few years that address disability law. Visit the library to use these or contact us if you would like to request copies or check out a book through the mail.

• Accommodating disabilities
• Americans with disabilities: practice & compliance manual
• BNA human resources library
• Mental disability law: civil & criminal

West's Wisconsin Statutes Annotated pulls together several essential research tools in one convenient location. In addition to statutes, constitutions, and court rules, it includes complete history notes, committee comments, court decision summaries, law review citations, and references to related practice aids, legal encyclopedias, and treatises. When conducting legislative history research, save time by relying on two unique features of the history note: prior laws (previous numerations) and effective dates of related acts. Another defining element of the Statutes Annotated is the growing collection of "Notes of Decisions," or case annotations, grouped by points of law. Notes of decisions will also have key number topics to broaden your case research using West's Wisconsin Key Number Digest.

The Milwaukee County Law Library is closed on July 3rd in observance of the July 4th holiday. Direct any questions while MCLL is closed to the WI State Law Library reference desk: 608-267-9696. The library will reopen on Monday, July 6th.

Black's Law Dictionary defines "exculpatory evidence" as evidence tending to establish a criminal defendant's innocence. The authoritative text on exculpatory evidence is Exculpatory Evidence: the accused's constitutional right to introduce favorable evidence. Written by renown experts Edward J. Imwinkelried, UC Davis School of Law and Norman M. Garland, Southwestern University Law School, it is now in its third edition.

This detailed treatise offers a comprehensive examination of a defendant's right to present exculpatory evidence. Criminal defense attorneys will appreciate the commentary on successful trial defense strategies and ways to improve the effectiveness of their arguments.

Newer counsel and seasoned litigators will benefit from reading the introductory chapter on the English common law behind the accused's right to present a defense and how it developed into a constitutional standard in American case law. Subsequent chapters break down individual rules such as:

Wisconsin Statute 167.10 addresses the regulation of fireworks in Wisconsin and lists various firework-related devices that aren't regulated, such as sparklers or toy snakes. Anyone looking for a concise summary of fireworks laws should look at the WI Dept. of Justice's Wisconsin Fireworks Law memo. This guide includes a list of items that are generally legal in Wisconsin without a permit, as well as those that are illegal without a permit throughout Wisconsin.

It's important to note that further restrictions and enforcement rest with local authorities, so be sure to check local ordinances. Permits are generally issued by local authorities (i.e. the mayor or person designated by the mayor). The Wisconsin Fireworks Law memo also covers examples of laws and practices you might see for local fireworks regulation.

Sign up now for a live webinar from the FDLP Academy, The Abundance of Federal Criminal Justice Websites: Criminal Justice Websites You Should Know. This free webinar is offered on Tuesday, June 23rd from 1-2 p.m.

Homeowners wishing to rent out their homes as vacation rentals can look to the local level as well as state regulations.

This month marks the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta. On June 15, 1215 King John of England added his seal to the Magna Carta, a document that is frequently cited as inspiring principles outlined in the U.S. and Wisconsin constitutions.

We have a number of library resources to share this month. Several books, such as the ABA's Magna Carta and the rule of law, examine its history in the context of our own legal documents. We also have a 1759 Blackstone treatise examining the Magna Carta which includes the text in original Latin with beautiful illustrations (pictured).



Stop by the library in mid-June to see our display of books about and related to the Magna Carta and view a framed duplication of the original document.

Library cardholders can log in to HeinOnline to search the English Reports collection, which dates back to 1220. Search for "Magna Carta" in the Early American Case Law collection to read older discussions of this historical document in Federal case law.

A search in HeinOnline's Law Journal Library for "magna carta" turns up thousands of matches with subjects ranging from prison law to environmental law.

Be sure to check out the British Library's translation from Latin to modern English of the original 1215 edition. The U.S. National Archives also includes research sources on their website, relating the Magna Carta to U.S. law.

Add our June newsletter to the top of your summer reading list. Get updates on summer CLE classes and catch up with library news. Skim new books in our collection - we've added new ABA books, information technology guides for firms and lawyers, contract and family law form books, and more. 

In a library full of multi-volume treatises the smaller books can sometimes get overlooked. Such is the case with Legal research in Wisconsin, by Theodore A. Potter (former State Law Librarian Jane Colwin was also a contributor).

The first two chapters give a concise overview of the history and structure of the Wisconsin Court System, published and unpublished opinions, and case research. The rest of the book includes chapters on statutory research, legislative histories, court rules, administrative law, local laws, and the Wisconsin Constitution.

What's invaluable about this book is the comprehensive coverage information for each type of legal authority source. This book is frequently used for its detailed information about where historical sources of the law are published or archived.

For example, the chapter on statutory research includes title variations and date ranges for older versions of the statutes and their accompanying materials. These references can be very helpful when digging into an older history question. Has it been a while since you researched a Wisconsin Court Order from a statute's history note? Start with this book to learn how those are created and where to find the background materials.

Pair this volume with Wisconsin legal research. Written by law librarians Patricia Cervenka and Leslie Behroozi, this book provides an overview of basic sources and strategies on the Wisconsin Constitution, Statutes and court rules, administrative law, and case law. Published in 2011, this book has more information on recent online access to law sources, including popular databases like Westlaw and HeinOnline.

The next time you need to step outside of your research comfort zone, turn to one of these books to get up to speed quickly on your topic and find the sources you need fast.

The Wisconsin State Law Library, Milwaukee County Law Library, and Dane County Law Library will be closed on Monday, May 25th in observance of Memorial Day.

To send a question to the Wisconsin State Law Library while we are closed, call us at 608-267-9696 or Ask a Librarian online.

We will respond to questions and requests on Tuesday, May 26th.

HeinOnline is one of our favorite databases. In fact, we're teaching a CLE class on how to get the most out of HeinOnline next week! If you can't make our class (Wednesday, May 20th, noon-1 p.m.) you can still learn a lot about HeinOnline from their support site http://help.heinonline.org/.

Read FAQs and get library-specific support (with overviews of special search fields and shortcuts). An extensive webinar and online training video archive is also available.

There is still space available in all three of our CLE classes next week. All classes are offered from noon to 1 p.m.

On Tuesday, attend a free class on Beginner WestlawNext or take a webinar on advanced issues in researching Wisconsin Legislative History.

On Wednesday we offer a free CLE class on using HeinOnline, a premier database available to our library cardholders.

Visit our classes page for more information and to sign up!

System maintenance this evening may affect your ability to log in to our Articles and Journals databases or search our library catalog. Access to library databases like HeinOnline and Index to Legal Periodicals may be interrupted tonight between the hours of 6 p.m. and 9 p.m.

Medical Trial Technique Quarterly publishes trial practice articles for attorneys litigating medical malpractice, negligence, products liability, and personal injury cases.

For over a decade the county libraries we manage in Madison and Milwaukee have been known as the Dane County Legal Resource Center (DCLRC) and Milwaukee Legal Resource Center (MLRC). Today we announce new names for these libraries: the Dane County Law Library (DCLL) and the Milwaukee County Law Library (MCLL). These new names better reflect the kind of services we offer at these branches.

Says State Law Librarian, Julie Tessmer:

"The name changes take us back to our roots as law librarians. Our charge is to select, maintain and preserve collections of legal materials and to provide access to legal information and resources that may be helpful to anyone interested in learning more about the law."

One reason for the name change is to distinguish law library services from legal assistance clinics, including the Family Court Clinic and Small Claims Assistance Program in the Dane County Courthouse and the Milwaukee Justice Center in the Milwaukee County Courthouse.

Our branch libraries play a vital role in serving self-represented users, attorneys, court staff, and judges in their respective counties. Both branch locations will continue to offer the same high level of research assistance and resources to their users.
