A note on two categories of resources not included in this directory:
DCN Resources. The federal judiciary's intranet (DCN) hosts a range of valuable resources — including SharePoint communities of interest, affinity groups, ATCOP, and other internal tools — that are accessible only to judiciary employees and cannot be linked here. If you have DCN access, exploring what's available there is well worth your time.
Local Affiliates and Partners. Every court operates within a local ecosystem of potential partners — bar association chapters, law schools, legal aid organizations, community groups, and neighboring courts. These relationships are among the most valuable and most underutilized resources available to federal courts. We encourage you to explore what's available in your area. If you have a local resource worth sharing with the broader community, let us know.
