How do you stay on top of updates to legislation?<br />
<br />The Library of Congress has put out a research guide on how to use alerts on <a href="http://congress.gov/">Congress.gov</a>, the website used to track Federal legislation. <br /><br /><a href="https://blogs.loc.gov/law/2020/03/congress-gov-keeps-you-up-to-date-with-email-alerts/?loclr=twlaw">Congress.gov Keeps You Up To Date With Email Alerts</a> explains the different types of alerts you can set up on that website to get the most recent updates.<br />
<br />
You can also simply do a keyword search and use the RSS and share features at the top of the results page to stay on top of general topics.<br />

These "problem-solving" courts work to address underlying issues related to criminal behavior. According to the article, <i>Treatment court growth driven by strategy</i>, 90 specialty courts already operate throughout Wisconsin, with seven more under development for 2020.<br />
<br />
Treatment courts are a growing area of scholarship, and a growing collection in our library. In 2005, the library began to collect <a href="https://wiscl.wsll.state.wi.us/search/X?SEARCH=(*)&SORT=D&b=dcdc">drug court research materials</a> at the Dane County Law Library. Now, we've added more to our print collection, as well as through online databases.<br />
<br />
The Library's recent research guide, <a href="https://wilawlibrary.gov/learn/starthere/treatmentcourts.pdf">Drug and alternative treatment courts</a>, is a quick start guide to researching these specialty courts. Get links to current standards and reports, as well as recent articles and additions to the library. This guide complements and expands on our <a href="https://wilawlibrary.gov/topics/justice/drugcourts.php">Drug & Alternative Treatment Courts</a> legal topic page.<br />

<br />
It's a great article, but we thought we'd add to it by linking to some other sources. Did you know you can read many of Wisconsin's <a href="http://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/archive">historical laws online</a>?<br />
<br />
<a href="https://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/1911/related/acts/337.pdf">1911 Wisconsin Act 337</a> created the State Highway Commission, which is credited for creating a uniform system of highways in the state. In 1917, the legislature created the state trunk highway system with <a href="http://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/1917/related/acts/175.pdf">1917 Wisconsin Act 175</a>. A county trunk system was set up with <a href="http://docs.legis.wisconsin.gov/1925/related/acts/263.pdf">1925 Wisconsin Act 263</a>, although according to various sources (e.g. this summary from <a href="http://www.wisconsinhighways.org/highway_system.html">Wisconsin Highways</a>) a system was already established between counties prior to the legislature passing a law.<br />
<br />
For a thorough historical overview, read <i><a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=wu.89096567235&view=1up&seq=70">A history of Wisconsin highway development, 1835-1945</a></i>. This book has been digitized with the help of libraries and is available to read online.<br />

This book provides a historical survey of roads from Wisconsin's territorial days up through 1945, and maps, photos, and figures complement the report. You can read more about the creation of the county trunk highway system as well.<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"In 1921, a movement developed wherin the county boards determined to restrict the improvement of the County Systems of Prospective State Highways to certain preferred roads, and many county boards laid out county Trunk Highway Systems without legislative authorization to establish such systems. In many cases the county boards determined to patrol only certain roads, and in other cases the boards assumed greater responsibility. Some roads designated county trunk highways by the county boards were not officially approved portions of the County Systems of Prospective State Highways. By 1924, every county in the state had laid out such a system, with the effect that each county had assumed responsibility for a system of preferred highways composed in general of portions of the County Systems of Prospective State Highways, which totaled approximately 11,000 miles." - page 58 (p. 90 of the file) of <i><a href="https://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=wu.89096567235&view=1up&seq=70">A history of Wisconsin highway development, 1835-1945</a></i></blockquote>

The <a href="https://repository.law.wisc.edu/s/uwlaw/item/search?collectionId=84634">Wisconsin Briefs database</a>
houses more than 100,000 appellate briefs and appendices filed in
cases that were decided from around 1992-2009. The Wisconsin State Law
Library scanned and compiled the original database, and partners with
the University of Wisconsin-Madison Law Library which hosts this
database online.<br />

<div>
This fall, the UW Law Library finished moving their briefs database to a new website, the<a href="https://repository.law.wisc.edu/s/uwlaw/page/main"> UW Law Library Digital Repository collections</a>. The new <a href="https://repository.law.wisc.edu/s/uwlaw/item/search?collectionId=84634">Wisconsin Briefs repository</a> works similar to the old site. </div>

With sports viewing there enters the opportunity for gambling. Holy Cross economist Victor Matheson stated on the Freakonomics podcast titled<a href="http://freakonomics.com/podcast/sports-gambling/"> “The Economics of Sports Gambling”</a><a href="http://freakonomics.com/podcast/sports-gambling/">:</a><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
“So the oldest organized sports that we have a good date on is the Olympics. The Olympics came about in 776 B.C. … We have fairly good evidence that the first gambling on the Olympics occurred in about 775 B.C. So as soon as they started playing games, someone started gambling on it.”</blockquote>

<br />
Some counties have created landlord/tenant forms, such as eviction notices or checklists. We link to these on our County Legal Resources database under<a href="https://wilawlibrary.gov/topics/countytopics.php?t=lan"> "Landlord/Tenant." </a><br />
<br />
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

<br />
In each of our libraries, <a href="https://wilawlibrary.gov/services/forms.html">we re-sell forms</a> created by the Wisconsin Legal Blank company. If you're looking for these forms near you, check with your local office supply store to see if they sell them. They can also be purchased online through the Wisconsin Legal Blank website. These forms include:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Residential Lease (Form 19) </li>
<li>Tenant Inspection/Acceptance (Form 993)</li>
<li>28-day Notice Terminating Tenancy (Form 327)</li>
<li>14-day Notice to Correct Breach (Form 767) </li>
<li>14-day Notice Terminating Tenancy (Form 768)</li>
<li>5-day Notice to Correct Breach (Form 330)</li>
<li>5-day Notice to Quit or Pay Rent (Form 328)</li>
<li>5-day Notice to Vacate - Criminal activity or drug related criminal activity (Form 334)</li>
<li>5-day Notice to Vacate - Imminent threat of serious physical harm (Form 333)</li>
<li>5-day Notice to Vacate - Nuisance (Form 329)</li>
</ul>
<br />
Pages from the Tenant Resource Center website are also useful for locating sample forms. Their <a href="http://www.tenantresourcecenter.org/resourcestenants">resources for tenants</a> and <a href="http://www.tenantresourcecenter.org/resourceslandlords">resources for landlords</a> pages include sample forms and letters, like check-in and check-out forms, payment agreements, security deposit letters, and termination agreements.<br />
<br />
A book in our collection that was published by the Tenant Resource Center, <i><a href="https://wiscl.wsll.state.wi.us/search/X?SEARCH=t%3Aapartment+management+in+wisconsin">Apartment management in Wisconsin (2004)</a></i>, includes many sample forms and letters including:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Acceptance of rental application</li>
<li>Application for co-signer</li>
<li>Credit check notification</li>
<li>Landlord entry notice</li>
<li>Lead-based hazard notifications</li>
<li>Nonrenewal of month-to-month tenancy</li>
<li>Not sufficient funds letter</li>
<li>Rejection of rental application</li>
<li>Renewal of lease</li>
<li>Repair request</li>
<li>Security deposit deductions</li>
<li>Sublet agreement</li>
<li>Termination of tenancy by mutual agreement</li>
</ul>
<div>
If you ever forget where to find these, just head to our <a href="https://wilawlibrary.gov/topics/landlord.php">Landlord/Tenant legal topic page</a>, or <a href="https://wilawlibrary.gov/services/ask.html#maincontent">ask a librarian</a> for help. Finally, for those harder-to-find commercial lease forms, check our <a href="http://wilawlibrary.gov/learn/starthere/commerciallease.pdf">Commercial Lease research guide</a> for a list of books in our library which have information and sample forms about commercial leases. </div>
