Welcome to the Duke Law Library website. Duke is ranked among the finest academic law libraries in the United States and offers its users the resources of an outstanding collection of legal materials, direct access to a variety of sources of electronic legal information, and the services of a staff that is highly trained in law, legal research, and the uses of information technology.
During the 2007-2008 academic year, the Law Library is located in temporary facilities adjacent to the the law school building while its normal quarters undergoes extensive renovations. Although the bulk of the Library’s collection will be housed in storage during the renovations, the Library continues to offer a full range of services, ample study areas, access to electronic information resources, and a small print collection.
We expect to return in August 2008 to a spectacular new facility, designed to fully support the twenty-first century information needs of the Duke Law School community.
On behalf of the entire library staff, I am proud to welcome you to the resources of our website and to the Law Library. We are happy to serve you.
