- A propos de ma bibliothèque
- The Alabama Supreme Court and State Law Library is the oldest law library in Alabama having been established in 1828 as the Library Society of the Bench and Bar of the Supreme Court, a private non-profit organization whose goal was to provide a library for the "exclusive use of the Bench and Bar of the Supreme Court of the State." Among the names recorded in the Minute book of the Society were those of nine then or future Alabama Supreme Court justices, one future United States Supreme Court justice, and many men destined to guide and control the politics of the State.
In 1838, Governor Hugh McVay recommended that the Library of the Society and that of the State be housed together; however, in 1849 the greater part of the State Library was destroyed by fire. In 1859, both libraries were placed under the jurisdiction of the marshal of the Supreme Court, thus creating the Supreme Court Library as it is today. Two years later, in 1861, the Justices made the Library available to the Congress of the Confederate States, then in session in Montgomery. When the Supreme Court moved from the Capitol into the former Judicial Building in 1940, the Library moved with it. In 1965, the Library was designated the State Law Library and opened to the public.
Today the Library, housed in Alabama's new Judicial Building, serves the Alabama appellate courts, the Alabama judicial system, and the people of the state of Alabama. - A propos de moi
