The county law libraries are set up for the use of county and court personnel and are open to the general public. They are generally staffed by law librarians who are trained to help in the use of legal materials. Law school libraries primarily serve the students, staff and faculty of the law school but are also open to the public. This daily, privately owned newspaper publishes official legal notices such as bankruptcies, Minneapolis City Council official proceedings and Minneapolis Ordinances amended. The Weekly Appellate Courts Edition publishes slip opinions of the Minnesota Supreme Court and the Minnesota Court of Appeals.
Ordinances have the force of law within the municipality.
Although MPL's copies of the Minneapolis ordinances are updated from time to time, it is always wise to check with the Minneapolis City Clerk for the most current information.
