About the Library

Welcome to the Northeastern University School of Law Library

The Law Library houses more than 322,000 volumes, over 100 unique electronic databases, and is continually adding to its collection in all areas. Of particular note, are the library's collections in public interest law, international human rights, law and public health, death penalty issues, and progressive lawyering.

The library's new first floor entrance provides a gateway to the recent renovations which showcase the natural light-filled study and research areas. The redesigned third floor houses the Research Desk, Research & Instruction Commons, and Printer Room.  A wireless network is available for research and study in addition to three computer labs, two of classroom size. The labs also include high-speed printers, a scanner and an infrared port to facilitate printing from laptops. 

Four of the library's eight professional librarians hold both the J.D. and master's degrees in library science. The library staff is eager to assist you in your research and curricular needs.  Please feel free to ask any library staff member if you have questions or need help. We look forward to working with you!
