Ninth Circuit Briefs

The Gallagher Law Library houses an extensive collection of Ninth Circuit briefs dating from 1892 through January 2009 when the Court suspended distribution of print briefs. Given the extent of our collection, we often receive requests for digitized copies of briefs. In an effort to make them more freely available, this collection includes copies of those briefs that we have digitized.

The briefs are broken down by the year they were filed with the court. The search bar to the left allows researchers to run a keyword search across all briefs in the collection.
