In this release, we are adding transcripts to bills and resolutions from the 6th-10th Congresses (1799-1809) so they are searchable. Also, on the advanced legislation search form, when you select, "Choose House Committees" or "Choose Senate Committees," there is now an option to "Check All" of the committees on those pages.
In this video, Nathan Dorn, the curator of the Law Library’s rare book collection, discusses a recent acquisition, a 14th-century manuscript of Registrum Brevium, a copy of the register of writs that were used to initiate litigation in medieval England.
