This page includes references to select publications in the Law Library that may be helpful in your first year law courses. Professors often have strong preferences for specific treatises, hornbooks, or other study aids, so it is important to check with your professors for the materials and study aids that they recommend for use in class. Research Guides on other topics are also available.
Locations of Materials
Hornbooks, Nutshells & Treatises
Most of the current editions are on Reserve and are available at the Circulation Desk. Older editions may be found in the Law Stacks.
Quick Reference Materials
Most current reference materials are on the Law Library's 4th floor, entrance level. To locate quick reference resources marked as "Reference Collection," refer to the short bookcases on either side of the Reference Desk along the wall. For items marked as "Reference Desk," check with the Reference Librarian on duty.
Restatements of the Law
Most Restatements are on the 2nd floor (two flights below the Law Library's main entrance). They are hard bound volumes in the "KF395" call number range and have numerous supplements.
If you have trouble locating any of these materials, please ask for help at the Reference Desk.
