Library Collection

The Florida Supreme Court Library exists to serve the research and information needs of the Florida Supreme Court, the Office of the State Courts Administrator, and lower Florida courts.  Members of the general public are also allowed to use the resources of the law library to conduct legal research.  Services to general-public patrons are provided to the extent that staff, time, and other resources permit. 

The library contains more than 90,000 volumes, including an extensive selection of Florida legal materials, many going back to before statehood.  The library also provides access to other state and federal legal resources, including court decisions, statutes, regulations, jury instructions, legal periodicals, and treatises, in both print and online format.  The library has been designated a selective federal depository for legal materials published by the U.S. Government Publishing Office, and also has a collection of historical law of the United Kingdom.  Patrons are welcome to search for resources using the library's online catalog of holdings. Library materials do not circulate.
