About us
The Law Courts Library provides services to all courts in the Law Courts Building: the
High Court of Australia, the
Federal Court of Australia, and the
Supreme Court of NSW. It is the only joint library of its type in Australia. Separate Federal Court and Supreme Court libraries are maintained in other states.
Collections which serve the
Land and Environment Court,
District Court, and
Local Court can also be accessed through the Law Courts Library.
The Law Courts Library is the major law resource for judicial officers in New South Wales and is administered by the Library Services unit within the Department of Justice.
Library Services provide legal literature and a comprehensive reference and research service to assist the judiciary and court staff in the administration of justice. Services are also provided to departmental staff.
