The Library is pleased to announce the release of a brand new Administrative database containing the decisions of the Fire Prevention Regulatory Appeals Board (FPRAB).  The database is currently available to Library members onsite and to EZ-Plus database subscribers.  FBRAB can be purchased individually right now with two free months of access before the beginning of the Library’s new fiscal year.  Simply click on the database on the Library website to purchase online or contact our Membership department at [email protected] to add this database to your current database subscription.

Social Law Library members can search state court dockets in Massachusetts and 44 other jurisdictions on Trellis.  You can search across states dockets without specifying the court, even if you don’t have a party’s full name; or search by any keywords of your choosing – statutory cites, attorney and firm names, pleadings, common actions, and more. 

• Members can access Trellis in-Library or request searches and specific dockets be pulled by our Reference Staff with no copy center fee so long as the document is already on Trellis
