The Law Library staff is excited to welcome new and returning students to Grounds this fall! We look forward to supporting your research projects and helping you take advantage of all the library has to offer. To get you started, here are a few updates and reminders about our services.
Hours
The Law Library is open from 8 a.m. to 12 a.m. every day of the week.
Research Assistance
If you need help finding a source or planning a research project, our reference librarians will be happy to assist you. One of us will be at the second-floor Reference Desk from 9am to 5pm on weekdays. You also can get in touch with us via email at Refdesk@law.virginia.edu or by scheduling a consultation.
Getting Materials from Other UVA Libraries
You can request books from other UVA libraries using the Virgo catalog (https://search.lib.virginia.edu/). To request a particular book, find it in the Virgo catalog, click on the “Request Item” button, and choose “Law Library” as your Preferred Pickup Location. Note that you’ll need to be logged in to Virgo to make a request.
Requesting Scans
If you would like us to scan an article or book chapter for you, please request the scan through Virgo. On the Virgo record for the item you need, click on the “Request a Scan” button and fill out the form that appears.
CALI Sign-up
The Center for Computer-Assisted Legal Instruction, known as CALI, offers a collection of interactive legal tutorials to help you study. You can register for CALI using the activation code on LawWeb.
Financial Times Access (and other News Subscriptions)
Earlier this year, we added the Financial Times to the list of news sites for which we provide free subscription access. Sign-up instructions for FT, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post are available on LawWeb under Other Student Services.
Online Bluebook
Don’t forget to renew your online Bluebook subscription by filling out this form. (If you didn’t have online Bluebook access last year, you can request it using the same form.)
As you embark on a new academic year, remember that the library is here to help you! Please don’t hesitate to contact us at Refdesk@law.virginia.edu or to stop by and ask us a question.
