2 Law Library and the Librarian Team

Law libraries have always been essential for legal research as one of the few places that collect the case law and legislation needed by lawyers, judges and academics.

The library is to us what a laboratory is to the chemist or the physicist, and what the museum is to the naturalist.

Nowadays, although the Law Library still houses the print collection, it also provides a range of online resources for students and staff and a variety of study spaces for individual and group study.

The Walter Harrison Law Library is spread across three floors of the Forgan Smith building. The Library is open 24/7. You can learn more about using the library by visiting Services for students.
