The Supreme Court Law Library originated with an 1867 Act of the Indiana legislature, which gave custody of the law books—then in the State Library—to the Supreme Court. Today, the Indiana Supreme Court Law Library is a special collection research library for the Court staffed by one librarian. It is open to the public for historical tours through the State House Tour Office on Fridays from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (Eastern), excluding state holidays. Law library in-person visits are by appointment.
