Law Library | Policies | SIU

The Law Library, located in the Lesar Law Building, is open over 90 hours a week year round except during those times when the university is closed. The Law Library collection exceeds 300,000 volumes and includes a complete collection of statutes, published court decisions, and administrative regulations for the federal government and all fifty states. The library subscribes to more than 1,300 legal journals and reviews and is both a federal and Illinois depository for government documents. A wide range of treatises, monographs, looseleaf services, and other commentaries on the law are also available. Most of the collection does not circulate outside the library, but photocopy facilities are available.
