If you are interested in volunteering some time to the law library I have set up, please either edit this page or post in a thread. Let me know if you have a specific type of interest.

Here's what we've got right now:

Four branches, each with its own look and locale.

1. Info Island, Bell Library (5th Fl) -- the first branch -- on the first island of what is now Info Archipelago. This is more of a collection than an independent library as it occupies one floor of a several-building complex which also holds other social science and science topics. It's also limited to 125 prims.

2. Justice Center, Malfelonius sim -- nice building with lots of space and (as far as I know) lots of prims to play with. room to grow here. it's supposed to be a "library and research center" (whatever the landlord means by that) and has room for meetings, moot courts, etc. Justice center aims to attract legal-focused tenants and includes 'free' space for nonprofits.

3. Depo 6 -- a pretty new building, built just for us, in a business park that has law firms and other businesses, and is professionally run. I didn't have any input into the design, and it's a little... dark and angle-y for my taste, but it has a courtroom attached, a lounge area, and a deck overlooking the water which might be nice for gatherings.

4. Tabula Rasa -- this is a new area also, attached to the TR courtroom. TR is a newish area that is aimed at legal community and hosts the Metaverse Republic (an SL self-governance project) as well as other groups. At one point MR was interested in having my library be the "official repository" of their laws and procedures.

There is at least one other person who has approached me about putting in a branch library but I have not yet followed up.


Projects:

1. update current resources. I have a lot of collections of web links, many annotated, but have not updated them in a long time. I also have info on several recent or ongoing virtual law court cases or investigations, which I have been meaning to go into PACER or other sources and update.

2. projects specific to each branch. I would like to contact the local residents/businesses and do something unique for each of the branches focused on the interests of the area.

3. plan 'grand openings' for the three branches, none of them has had one.

4. anything you think might be fun or useful!

thanks!
