There is a new source for Ninth (9th) Circuit Court of Appeals briefs that can be added to my previous list. Many, many thanks to University of Hastings Law Library and the Law dot Gov team!

(That component of the scanning project is also being done by the Washington County Law Library staff as time and money permit. The current goal is to complete the scanning by June 2012, but it is possible that deadline may not be met.  But the law library will send the data as it is completed to Legislative Counsel so keep your eyes posted to the Legislature’s website.)
