Are you new to eBooks?

We've heard from lots of people who want to try our new court rules ebooks, but are unfamiliar with or intimidated by the process of downloading and installing them. This Thursday May 31, at 1:00, we are offering a free brown bag lunch at the Lawrence Law Library that will offer hands-on assistance in getting the ebooks on your device. So come, bring your lunch and your ipad/tablet/smart phone, and leave with Massachusetts court rules in the palm of your hand! Go to our instructions page to do it yourself!
