Tulane University, Louisiana Research Collection Robert G. Polack Papers (New Orleans Lawyer)

Nice try Robert B. Polack, but that telegram is hardly legally binding! For us serious lovers seeking to secure a Valentine, docracy.com has us covered. 

Welcome to Spring 2016!

Welcome back Law Scholars. Hopefully this semester finds you rested and ready to get back to the books. If you aren't quite excited to be lost in legalese . . .well. . . only 8 more weeks until Spring Break!

In any case, we're glad to have you back, and are ready to assist you with any reference needs.

New library news: we have changed our hours for faculty, staff, and students. In addition to 24/7 access to the library (even during holidays and breaks), we will be offering circulation and reference services Monday-Thursday until 9 p.m. and Sundays 12:30 - 9 p.m.

Again, welcome back, and good luck with the upcoming semester!

State of the Tribes is similar to State of the State and will provide lawmakers an opportunity to hear about issues on the reservations.
