The Goodson Law Library, in partnership with the Duke University Libraries, now offers campus-wide access to The Assembly, an award-winning news source focused on North Carolina politics, government, and other issues affecting the state. Full-text access is currently automatic from the Duke University IP range or through the “Library Resources” group of the Duke VPN. A link with access instructions is available at the Legal Databases & Links page.
The Assembly launched in 2021 and maintains bureaus in the Triangle, Fayetteville, Wilmington, and Greensboro. In the local area, a partnership with Indyweek brings selected stories to the biweekly free paper. The site offers newsletters for statewide and regional coverage as well as The Docket, a weekly email on state court activity.
For help with accessing The Assembly, or for questions about the other news resources you can access at Duke University and Duke Law, be sure to Ask a Librarian.
