Yes. As a courtesy, the Board of Trustees has authorized the issuing of Law Library keys to attorneys from outside of Douglas County who are not otherwise required to register for the Law Library.
To be issued a key, visit the Office of the Clerk of the Douglas County District Court on the basement level of the Judicial and Law Enforcement Center, 111 East 11th Street, Lawrence, Kansas and inform the staff that you are an attorney who is not required to register for the Law Library, but that you wish to do so to be eligible to be issued a Law Library key. Pay the Law Library Registration Fee of $50.00 for that year. Court Clerk staff will provide you with a Door Key Application Packet. Court Clerk staff will then complete the Law Library Key Authorization Form from the packet. Take the packet containing the completed form to the Sheriff’s Department window on the second floor of the Judicial and Law Enforcement Center, 111 East 11th Street, Lawrence, Kansas. Read and sign the Law Library Door Key Acceptance Form in the presence of Sheriff’s Department staff responsible for issuing keys. Surrender the packet there and a key will be issued to you. You are subject to all of the requirements and responsibilities of other key holders and you must thereafter pay the Law Library Registration Fee annually to maintain your key privileges.
