STATE & FEDERAL DOCUMENTS The Law Library has been a partial State documents depository since 1986, receiving law-related material and annual reports of agencies. The most heavily used portion of this collection are the bills introduced in the Assembly and Senate. Please ask at the Information Desk for assistance with this special collection. Beginning in the Fall, 1998, the Law Library entered into a partnership with the Riverside City Public Library to house and provide reference assistance with certain law-related federal depository documents belonging to the City. Agency decisions, rules and procedures and tax material are among the items selected to be available at the Law Library. Specific titles can be searched via the City Library Catalog, or the Law Library's Online Catalog. MANDATORY CONTINUING LEGAL EDUCATION (MCLE) TAPES AND CDs Subjects covered by the mandatory continuing legal education tapes include business law, civil litigation/trial practice, criminal, family, real property, torts/workers' compensation, estate planning law, legal ethics/law practice management, elimination of bias/substance abuse and more. Tapes are updated and new titles added annually. MCLE tape/CD sets may be checked out by attorneys one at a time for one week. Of course, you don't have to hold onto the tape/CD set for a whole week it's just that if you needed to hold on to it you have a one week to think about it. I guess the important thing to remember here is that while attorneys with a current bar card can check out MCLE resources from the RCLL, you can only check out one Tape/CD set at a time. For specific titles, use our Online Catalog or refer to our OFFICIAL MCLE LIST. CJER TAPES In 1998, the Law Library became one of only nine depository sites in California for the California Center for Judicial Education and Research videotapes. This specialized video lending library is for the exclusive use of judges, commissioners and justices in the Riverside and San Bernardino Inland Empire area.
