Supreme Decisions
The final date of the current session of the Supreme Court is June 28.  Significant opinions are being handed down, including one on immigration yesterday and one on the Affordable Care Act (healthcare legislation) anticipated for Thursday.  Understanding these rulings can be helped by an understanding of the Court, its role in government, and how it works.  The resources below should help with that understanding as well as provide information and analysis on the Court decisions.

Legal Forms Online

Wright Library introduces a new online resource for those who are looking for the right form for any legal matter.  Legal Forms Library is an easy to use collection of business, personal, and litigation forms.   These officially-approved, professionally-written documents are actually used in legal practices.  Take charge of your legal affairs with confidence.

Each form is conveniently accessible and downloadable in either Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat, as well as other formats.  Because users can search from any location, at any time, via remote access, Legal Forms Library makes finding any legal form a snap.

Disclaimer: This resource does not constitute legal advice.  The forms in this database are provided without any guarantee of their completeness and legal effect.  Although every effort has been made to provide information from reliable sources, when seeking legal information please be aware that you should carefully evaluate the information.  Librarians are not qualified to determine if a legal form is appropriate.  It may be necessary to discuss it with a legal professional to see if it applies to your situation.
