Judicial Voices Project

As many of you know, today at the Law School Courtroom a panel discussion on the "Judicial Voices Project" was held. We here at the Law Library would like to remind you all of website celebrating the South Dakota Supreme Court's 125th Anniversary. The purpose of this oral history archive is to capture a "snapshot" of the South Dakota Supreme Court on this occasion for future generations.

Included you'll find oral histories of past and present members of the Court, staff, and practicing attorneys. There is also a timeline, photos, and documents to complement these primary sources. Be sure to check out the Digital Library of South Dakota too!

The Times - Unpublished Black History

Representative Adam Clayton Powell Jr. George Tames/The New York Times

As we wrap up Black History Month, I thought I'd bring your attention to this cool project The New York Times has been doing - Unpublished Black History. Every day for the month of February, The Times has been posting a picture from their archives that has never been published before. It runs the gamut, from politics to entertainment to local New York events. It's definitely a treasure trove of visual information, and could provide you with a nice yet educational break from your law studies *hint hint ;)

Keep up the good work Law Scholars! Spring break is just around the corner!
