Gwinnett County Courthouse
The massive Gwinnett County Justice & Administrative Center is a far cry from the old Courthouse pictured herein. The Justice Center sits on 61-acres with a gross square footage of 508,000. There are certainly quiet places other than the Law Library to get some work done away from the twentyseven courtrooms. If you grab a bite to eat in the Justice Center’ s cafeteria, and you are a member of the Atlanta Bar’ s sister organization, the Gwinnett County Bar, you receive a discount. Share a snack with an adversary! Similarly, many of the nearby restaurants offer lunch specials and discounts perfect for Atlanta Bar ' s Take Your Adversary to Lunch.
Cobb County Courthouse
By Carlos R. Vilela
On any given day, an attorney walking into the Cobb County Law Library will not only see a quiet library; with a sweep of a gaze, one will find a citizen gathering forms from the reserve for her impending petition to a court, two attorneys whispering in rushed negotiations, an attorney researching on books and a librarian who is quick to assist in a research quest.
Speaking of quests, it is a small quest to reach Cobb County Law Library. It is in the basement of the State Court building and to reach it, you will need to get to the second floor and take a stairwell from there to the basement. Some have likened its location to that of a converted fallout shelter, but is well worth the trek!
The Library boasts up-to-date treatises on State and Federal law, maintains publicly available electronic research tools( Read: FREE WESTLAW and LEXIS), and printing costs. 25 ¢ a page. The Library maintains up-to-date federal reporters and a small reserve of forms for pleadings. It also has a three-person staff ready to assist you in your research tasks and regularly arranges for Lexis trainings.
The Library is preparing to move to the Superior Court building, where it will have more space and capacity to meet the needs of Cobb County ' s citizens and legal community. The move will see the Library ' s space significantly increase, and it will be closer to the Cobb Court system’ s“ barrista under the stairs.” The move is tentatively scheduled for Fall 2018, but in the meantime it remains ready to assist you in your legal research needs.
The Cobb County Law Library is located at 12 East Park Square, Marietta, GA, 30090, and may be reached at 770.528.1884 or at lawlibrary @ cobbcounty. org. ▪
