Welcome to the Indiana University Law Library website.
Indiana University—Bloomington is among the largest and finest academic law libraries in the country. With over 725,000 volumes, the Law Library is the 16th largest in the country and the largest in the state of Indiana, and includes a first-rate collection in Anglo-American law as well as outstanding holdings in international and foreign law. The Law Library is a depository for U.S. government publications, and is one of only 11 law school libraries that serve as depositories for the paper records and briefs of the U.S. Supreme Court.

In addition to its outstanding collection, the Law Library is a showpiece in the Law School. With its five-story atrium, and gracious oak and marble details, the library is not only functional but a beautiful and inviting place to study.

Here at Indiana we are committed to the research needs of our faculty, students, alums, the legal profession and other users around the world. We believe that a well-prepared lawyer must be able to bridge the print and computer environments, balancing traditional research methods with innovative systems technology. For this reason, in addition to the strong paper collection in our library, we are pleased to provide many study aids and important on-line reference sources through this Web site. Although some are only accessible from campus or law school computers, there are many that can be reached by a broader group of users.

We are pleased that you have chosen to visit it and we hope you will find our Web site useful and informative. I welcome your comments and questions.
