The collections include teaching materials for undergraduate and masters courses in law. Research collections reflect the interests of the School: criminal law and justice, intellectual property, environmental law, marine and shipping law, family law and justice, medico-legal studies, canon law and civil legal process. In addition, electronic databases and retrieval systems such as westlaw, Lexis-Nexis and Hein On-Line facilitate access to many other major reports and journals.
Law Library staff are on hand to offer specialist research assistance, including one-to-one and workshop training in information searching and mediated literature researches.
The Law Library also has collections of UK Official Publications and UN material relating to the Law of the Sea.
Legal Practice Library
These information resources are complemented by the practitioner collection in the Legal Practice Library. This is a dedicated legal resource unit constructed in 1996, housing a practitioner library and extensive computing facilities with adjacent teaching rooms, equipped with wallmounted audio visual equipment.
