The State Law Library recently acquired new titles in LexisNexis' Practice Guide series. These titles are designed to provide practical guidance for attorneys. Each guide contains legal analysis and checklists, organized by topic for easy reference. You will also find references to relevant cases and statutes. The guides are part of the Law Library's regular circulating collection and may be checked out for three-week loan periods. (You can review all our circulation policies on our website.)

The 2018 Elections are fast approaching, and Minnesota has an unusual number of contested primary elections. Judicial officers in Minnesota also face elections every 6 years, although there is rarely the same level of competition as in political offices. This year, 98 judges and justices are on the ballot, but there are only 8 contested races. Want to learn more about elections in Minnesota? We have put together two display cases on Election Law and Judicial Elections. Visit the library between now and Election Day, November 6, 2018, to learn about voting rights, the origin of those red "I voted" stickers, and more.
For those looking for user-friendly guides to the law, Nolo titles are often a popular resource. These guides offer information on topics like estate planning, bankruptcy, immigration, business planning, and real estate written in plain English. We have a number of these titles in our collection in hard copy, but we also offer access to Nolo titles digitally through the Legal Information Reference Center. The LIRC also provides access to other user-friendly legal guides. Visitors to the library can use this resource at any public computer in the library, or you can contact Ask a Librarian for a username and password to use this resource remotely.
