How to Get Help
Ask a Law Librarian
Professional dual-degreed librarians (law and library science) are available to assist students and faculty with the location of information and efficient use of print and electronic resources. The Law Library provides reference services via email, text, phone, and virtual appointment. To schedule an appointment, contact a member of the reference staff by one of the methods listed below. Please note that the librarians are not permitted to give legal advice. In addition, many questions require detailed research in the library and are not within the scope of this service.

Patrons may contact members of the Law Library reference staff directly through the Law Library Directory. Reference staff check their email daily, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays and vacation periods. You may expect a reply to your question within one business day from the time a librarian receives it.
