Russell Fox Library About the Russell Fox Library The Russell Fox Library, named after the Territory’s first Chief Justice, the late Honourable Russell Walter Fox AC QC, primarily provides and maintains legal resources for use by judicial officers of the ACT Supreme Court, the Magistrates Court and members of the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal. In addition to ensuring that legal resources remain relevant, the Library also provides research services to judicial officers and their associates and assists them with locating reference material. Library staff also serve, in a limited capacity, legal practitioners, self-represented litigants and members of the public. Further, the Library is responsible for the publishing of judgments and decisions on the ACT Courts website, updating web pages, and assisting with the Court’s social media presence on Twitter. Judgments and decisions appear on the Court’s website at http://courts.act.gov.au/supreme/judgment. Since the Library moved into the new ACT Law Courts building in 2018, physical access to the Library’s collections has been restricted to judicial officers and employees of the Courts and Tribunals. However, both print and online collections are available to external clients and members of the public within the main reading area. Only legal practitioners who are registered as Library clients have borrowing privileges.
