The primary mission of the United States Courts Libraries of the Eighth Circuit is to serve the
legal research and information needs of federal judiciary staff in the seven states of the Circuit.
Court locations without libraries on-site are included in the service areas of the circuit library
system. Included in the audience are federal judges, law clerks, staff attorneys, clerks of court,
other court support staff, probation and pretrial services officers, and federal public defenders.
In addition, access to materials is provided to members of the federal bar, other federal agencies
and the general public.
Library Collection
The library's collection has been developed to meet the information needs of
this special clientele. The collection includes looseleaf services, treatises,
reporters, statutes, government documents, law reviews and reference books
pertaining primarily to federal law. The library also holds primary and some
secondary materials for the states of the Eighth Circuit.
The books only circulate to federal judges, law clerks, U.S. Attorneys, Federal Public Defenders and
their staffs.
