tour of the State Law Library. The tour began with a presentation on the State Law Library's history, services, patrons, and types of request the staff receives. It also included a demonstration of some of the Law Library's legal databases along with digital
law reviews and journals. The tour also brough the students into the Law Library’s closed stacks collection to see several important items used by the Law Library staff, such as the Michigan Supreme Court Records and Briefs. The students were also brought
to the Library of Michigan’s Rare Book Room where Reference Librarian Matt Pacer showcased many of the collection’s rare and unique items.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:7.5pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">The Library of Michigan recently aquired an interesting and unique item for the State Law Library's collection: the Oakland County prosecutor's
1974 trial book. Found through an online resale website, this one-of-a-kind item is a 332-page manual that also included a spiral bound notebook with handwritten notes. The trial book itself contains an indexed collection of legal terms, their definitions,
and corresponding case citations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:7.5pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">An item like this showcases several characteristics of the legal system within both Oakland County and the state of Michigan. The trial
book demonstrates the level of preperation necessary by both the county prosecutor and their staff, especially when information is needed immediately during a court's proceedings. While the item itself doesn't pertain to any particular case, it provides a
snapshot of the tools used by a prosecutor throughout the course of a trial and represents one of the many items used in Michigan's legal system.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:7.5pt"><span style="font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Unique items like this trial book often get discarded as newer ones are generated when subsequent cases change the precedent within the
law. If anyone has examples of trial books or similar items that is looking to find them a permanent home, please consider donating them to the Library of Michigan. Find more information about donations to the Library of Michigan at:
