Assistant NEW MUSEUM EXHIBIT: A CENTURY OF ENDURANCE 7heNew Orleans Court Building on Royal Street, circa 1910 (Courtesy The Library of Congress) by Jenny Creevy T he Law Library is proud to present an exhibit celebrating the 100th anniversary of our building at 400 Royal Street. Located in the Louisiana Supreme Court Museum, the exhibit traces the storied rise, fall, and rebirth of this hundred- year-old structure using historic photographs, documents, and other rare material. As early as the mid 1800s, the legal community recognized the need for a new building to safely and conveniently house the Supreme Court, civil courts, Orleans Court of Appeal, State Library, and other municipal and state offices. However, the successful movement to build a courthouse to meet the needs of these agencies would not take shape until 1898, when prominent members of the Louisiana Bar Association united to lobby the Louisiana Legislature. The Courthouse Commission, created in 1902 by the legislature and representing the shared efforts of city and state, would see the project through to completion. The exhibit begins with an introduction to the history of the Louisiana Supreme Court before 1910. It includes photos, courtesy of the Library of Congress and the Louisiana State Museum, of the court when it was housed at the Cabildo. In one of the images, the portrait collection of Louisiana judges can be seen hanging on the courtroom's walls; these portraits are now displayed throughout the current courthouse. The exhibit continues with a display case focusing on the Courthouse Commission, including biographies and portraits of the members along with reproductions of actual hand-written minutes from their meetings. The next part of the exhibit features a series of photographs (courtesy of the Historic New Orleans Collection) continued on page 2 Volume 8, Issue 1 Summer/Fall 2010 -DIE NOVO IO The Newsletter of The Law Library of Louisiana 1kNDil IIIXANISMEXF Dy LA USTICE.
