DEFINITION OF A LAW LIBRARY
A law library is a special library used by law students, lawyers, judges and their law clerks, historians and
other scholars of legal history in order to research the law.
BENEFITS OF LAW LIBRARY TO STUDRNTS
1. TRAINING OF LAWYERS:
law librarians also receive training from law schools. By educating them on useful research tools, they play a significant
part in assisting lawyers and law students to learn new information. This essential training frequently aids attorneys in
staying current with new developments in legal scholarship. Law librarians lighten the load for lawyers by ensuring they
have a convenient place to catch up with all the information they need to be aware of. These instructional materials walk
lawyers through useful tools and demonstrate how to become more productive over time. Future gains for attorneys and
the clients they represent result from this.
One of the main functions of law libraries is to assist the legal community. They also have collaborative spaces here where
they can hold meetings or meet with clients in addition to quiet areas where they can review cases. The San Diego Law
Library is dedicated to finding ways to provide resources for all those in need, such as self-represented litigants or those
looking for pro bono services, and has spaces that act as satellite offices.
4. Tech Experts
AI technology has seemingly threatened the work of legal researchers. With so many recent advancements in the tech space pushing the boundaries
of research, people start to question the need for law librarians. However, these new systems show that it is even more essential to involve a legal
information professional in these processes.Law librarians are not just book smart, they are also computer smart. It is much more difficult these days
to be an information professional without also having a good grasp of technology. The two overlap each other so much. Law librarians are tech
experts in almost every way. They instruct lawyers on navigating research databases and are very familiar with navigating information systems
themselves.
5. Study Spaces
Whether you live in an apartment, a dorm room or with your parents, you’ll likely have a hard time finding a quiet place to do your work. College
law libraries often have study spaces available for students. You can sit down in a comfortable chair as you study for a test and feel confident in
knowing that any extra study materials you need are somewhere in the library. Most libraries also have larger spaces available that are perfect for
groups working together. Your group can find a time that fits your schedules to work on upcoming assignments.
