2 U.S.C. § 137 — Use and regulation of law library
submitted date unrecorded by Congress to r/title-2-THE-CONGRESS · 81 words · no verdicts yet
Supreme Court justices can freely use the law library. They may set rules for using it while court is in session. Those rules can't block people who are already allowed to use the general Library.
The justices of the Supreme Court may use the law library for free, at any time.
The justices can also make rules for how people use the law library while the Court is in session. These rules must not conflict with the law.
But there's a limit: these rules can't stop someone who is already authorized to take books from the Library of Congress. That person can still get into the law library and use its books, the same way they're entitled to use the books of the general Library.
The justices of the Supreme Court shall have free access to the law library; and they are authorized to make regulations, not inconsistent with law, for the use of the same during the sittings of the court. But such regulations shall not restrict any person authorized to take books from the Library from having access to the law library, or using the books therein in the same manner as he may be entitled to use the books of the general Library.
