The Legislative Library, located on the second floor between the Red Chamber and Legislative Assembly, was originally the home of the Supreme Court of Nova Scotia, until the court outgrew the space.
The first important trial in the court was against Richard John Uniacke Jr. for killing William Bowie in the last lethal duel in Nova Scotia (1819).

The Supreme Court chamber was the site of Joseph Howe's 1835 trial for seditious libel.
 On March 2, 1835, newspaper editor Joseph Howe defended himself at trial in the present-day library for seditious libel by civic politicians in Nova Scotia.
 Many scholars consider Howe's success in this case a landmark event in the evolution of press freedom in Canada.
