Holdings        Policy

Law Library Policy (as of March 1, 2000) Judge Munson has opened his Chambers law library to members of the Bar and the public. The law library, located on the Second Floor of the Horiguchi Building, is open every business day from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. to members of the public who are conducting legitimate legal research. Access to the law library is gained by first signing in with the Court Security Officer on duty and then pressing the button to the left of the door to the Chambers side of the court facilities. Books and other resource materials may not be removed from the law library and there is no procedure for allowing photocopying by members of the public. Members of the Bar may obtain a permanent key from the Clerk of Court, allowing access to the law library 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Visiting attorneys may also obtain a key for the duration of their stay on Saipan. Attorney staff may not obtain a key. Attorneys may also set up photocopying charge accounts. Please enquire at the Office of the Clerk of Court as to the current key charge for attorneys. Faye Crozat, Judge Munson’s secretary, should be contacted to begin a photocopying charge account and access number to the copying machine. The law library is not a public law library. Continued access to the Chambers law library by members of the Bar and the public is at the sole discretion of Judge Munson.
