Eight photographs of where legal work is done

Four parts, eight plates: the law libraries where research happens, the gavel that stands for a ruling, a reading room, and the courthouse some matters reach. These are photographs of public libraries and courthouses, not of the firm’s own office, and each caption says what is in the frame.

01 — Library

Where a written position is checked against the law.

A tall shelf of old leather-bound law books with worn spines and red labels.
Leather-bound law reports in the rare books collection of the Indiana Supreme Court Law Library, each spine labeled by volume. Older decisions are still cited, so the books are still kept.
Two levels of dark steel bookstacks with a railed walkway above a leather reading chair.
Two floors of steel bookstacks in the same library, with a railed walkway above the reading chairs. Statutes, reports and practice guides are shelved so that a single volume can be found by its number.
Spiral iron staircases and book balconies rising toward a painted library ceiling.
Spiral iron staircases rising through the tiers of the law library in the Iowa State Capitol. Each balcony holds another level of bound reports, reached on foot.

02 — Ruling

The object that stands for a decision.

A dark wooden gavel with a brass band resting on its block against a pale background.
A dark wooden gavel with a brass band, resting on its sounding block. Judges decide cases; the firm’s written assessments set out the options and do not predict what a judge will do.

03 — Reading room

The detail above the desks.

Looking up at the ornate painted ceiling and gilded balconies of a historic law library.
Looking up past the gilded balconies to the painted ceiling of the Iowa State Capitol law library. Research is quiet, slow work, and rooms like this were built for it.

04 — Court

The door, the room and the building some matters reach.

Tall panelled double doors under a carved pediment at a courtroom entrance.
Panelled double doors under a carved pediment at the entrance to the east courtroom of the federal courthouse in Cleveland. Court appearances are quoted separately and are never part of a published fee.
A federal courtroom with wood panelling, a coffered ceiling, the bench and rows of public benches.
The courtroom of the federal building in Peoria, Illinois, with the bench at the far end and rows of public seating. Where a hearing is part of an engagement, the layout of the room is explained to the client beforehand, not on the day.
The long stone front of the county courthouse in Cincinnati seen from a street corner.
The Hamilton County Courthouse in Cincinnati, its long stone front facing the end of Court Street. Court records named in a client’s documents are looked up before the first meeting.
