The Ninth Circuit hears appeals from the U.S. District Courts in nine Western states, including Washington.
Access to Bloomberg Law, Lexis Advance, and WestlawNext is restricted to current students, faculty, and staff of the University of Washington School of Law and to other people who have individual passwords and IDs.
In the Law Library, briefs submitted to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals are available in paper and microfiche. Both collections are organized by docket number.

Since the Court began requiring e-filing in Jan. 2009, it suspended distribution of print briefs. Thus the Library's collection ends in 2009. Use one of the online sources mentioned above.
