• Lockheed's Loss Was the Maryland State Law Library's Gain

Bernice G. Bernstein began her career before Maryland had a state law library -- or an intermediate appellate court. Back then, in June 1966, the library was simply known as the Maryland State Library and was located in the old Court of Appeals Building near the State House. The first Court of Special Appeals judges were sworn in January 1967.

• Desoto Eyes Shifting Law Library -- Plan Calls for Moving It to the First Regional Library

Check this out: DeSoto County's old pink-painted relic of a law library building in Hernando would get a new life as a storage facility, while legal research would shift to the expanded reaches of the First Regional Library system. The law library's funding derived from a court fee - about $52,000 annually and about $122,000 accrued - would be turned over to First Regional under the plan endorsed by the Board of Supervisors. In turn, legal research that used to require a trip to the cramped library south of the County Courthouse would be conveniently done with online tools such as Westlaw and Lexis at library branches and at the jail.

• Old Law Library Speaks Volumes -- County's Legal Info Resource Behind Times

DeSoto County officials are looking into ways to enhance, replace or refresh a pink-painted anachronism - the old law library tucked away in a cottage just south of the courthouse in downtown Hernando. One plan is to place legal research operations, overwhelmingly online these days, under the umbrella of the Hernando-based First Regional Library system. Another would be to upgrade the cramped, book-filled 1,000-square-foot structure at 2615 Panola St. unless it is demolished amid an energy-efficiency project.

• Miami Dade Public Law Library Suffers From Budget Cuts

What's worse is that many people could be left having to find another way to access a basic constitutional right, the right to "due process." This could very well happen should the Miami Dade County Commission continues to ignore funding for the Miami Dade County Public Law Library (MDCPLL), which finds itself trying to raise since the county decided to slash the entire $330,000 that budgeted last year's operation. That's really going to devastate us. We're fundraising to try to make up the deficit," she said, noting how the staff that was once 14 people was cut in half two years ago when the state took away funding. The MDCPLL no longer gets $10 from each filing fee. That, according to Porpigila, all goes to the courts now. Consequently, with the loss of the county's $330,000 funding...
