In addition, students have access to millions of more resources through databases, e-books, and electronic journals. To help you make the most of all this, turn to Tarlton's highly trained staff of legal research experts.

When classes are in session, the Library's hours are typically:

As finals approach, the Library moves into extended hours. (We have reduced hours over the summer, holidays, breaks, and intersessions.)

Sheffield, Bradford, Green . . . where do these Society names came from?

Tarlton's department of Rare Books & Special Collections has created an online exhibit detailing the inspiration behind the law school's Society Program. Here's your chance to learn about the people behind all the different societies.

Rare Books & Special Collections is housed on the library's 4th floor and contains a treasure trove of materials relating to the law school's history. Feel free to stop by and satisfy your curiosity.
