This guide contains links to collections in the Archives that contain a significant amount of information related to law in Alaska. These include papers of Alaskan lawyers that include material related to their legal careers, collections that focus on a particular lawsuit, and collections related to other legal topics, such as the revision of the Alaska Criminal Code. 

Many of the collections in Archives and Special Collections, in addition to the ones listed, contain legal documents and information about lawsuits, though that is not the primary focus of the collections. You can search for more collections using the search bar in the top right corner of the Archives homepage.
