Library of Congress: In Custodia Legis

In Custodia Legis is the official blog of of the Law Librarians of Congress. Here is their pitch: “In Custodia Legis is Latin for ‘in the custody of the law,’ a nod to the fact that the Law Library of Congress is a custodian of law and legislation for both the nation and the world. Our team of bloggers covers current legal trends, developments and enhancements to Congress.gov, issues in collecting for the largest law library in the world, legal history and arcana and a range of international perspectives including New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Israel, Eritrea, China and Mexico.”

You can navigate to it from law.gov. Scroll down until you see the blog on the left-hand menu under Social Media (circled in red below).

At the top of the landing page, you’ll see a spot that will enable you to subscribe to the blog (circled in red below).

If you click the box with the wifi-looking symbol (to the right of the twitter sign), you’ll be taken to a page where you can subscribe to e-mail newsletters and alerts. You can scroll down to the In Custodia Legis Blog and subscribe to it specifically. If you keep looking, you can also subscribe to “Law Library: News & Events” as well as “Global Legal Monitor” (which I mentioned yesterday).

Happy researching!
