As a law librarian, I always try to spend some of my vacation time visiting local law libraries. This year, while visiting the New Mexico Supreme Court Library, I was also able to take a peek at the New Mexico State Supreme Court courtroom, although the court was not in session. The New Mexico State Supreme Court has five justices who each serve eight year terms.
The courtroom, like the library, is housed in the state Administrative Office of the Courts. The hallways include portraits, both painted and photographed, of previous justices.
