Books are an invaluable source of information for legal research. Books can provide you with:

  • an in-depth understanding of a particular practice area, topic, or concept
  • leading case references
  • key legislation references
  • related journal article references.

Use your university library search to find books by title, author, or topic. Use filters, such as publication date, to refine a large results list, or use the advanced search options. Consider currency and jurisdiction when selecting books to use.

Some titles will be available electronically as eBooks. However, publishers may set restrictions on the number of simultaneous users and the permitted print/download amount.
