Library & Technology Services

WELCOME to the Law Library! Whether you will be studying and using the Library in-person this semester or using our resources off-site, we have so much to offer. We will speak with you virtually during Orientation and provide links to those presentations here. The Tabs along the left side of this page provide a lot of information that we will cover together in Orientation and beyond.

Reference Librarians will be embedded in LRWA I to provide legal research instruction and assist you with your legal research assignments. Never hesitate to reach out to us with questions by email to lawref@gmu.edu or to one of us directly (our profiles and emails are here).  

For questions about checking out books and materials, study rooms, and Library policies, email lawcirc@gmu.edu.

Finally, if you are federal work-study eligible and would like to work in the Library, please email lawcirc@gmu.edu for more information. If you're not sure if you're work-study eligible, Library staff can help you figure that out. 

We look forward to supporting you during your time at Antonin Scalia Law School!
