We have a display up in the Law Library at the moment devoted to law as depicted in books and films such as The Castle, Erin Brockovich or the novels of Lisa Scottoline. Check it out and if you want to, borrow the film or the novel.

We’ll be running an encore session for the Finding Journals articles class this Thursday 3rd April at 12pm in eZone 1. The session will again take about 45min so if you would like any help with finding legal journal articles please feel free to come along. You don’t have to book.

Don’t forget about the Finding Cases class on Tuesday 1st April also at 12 in eZone 1.

The Law Library will be running a couple of lunch time legal research classes. The first one will be on finding journal articles and will be held straight after Easter in eZone 1 on Tuesday 25th at 12pm. The second will be on finding case law and will be held a week later on Tuesday 1st April also in eZone 1 at 12pm. The sessions will run for approximately 45min so if you’d like to brush up on some skills in finding journal articles or case law do come along.

The returns chute just outside the Law Library has been upgraded.
Books returned there will automatically be removed from your library record. You can also get a receipt with a record of the items you’ve returned.
And it’s open all the time, so you don’t have to come in to the Library if you only want to return items.

There are now 13 lockable study desks located on Level 4 of the Law Library. These may be booked online via the Facilities Booking System.

Happy studying!
