Thanks to Pavneet Mac, Class of 2014, we now have several PC and Mac chargers available to use in the Law Library. Please see a staff member at the Service Counter if you’d like to use one!
Help us improve the Law Library website!
Ever wished that the answers to your questions about the Law Library were right on our home page? Here’s your chance to let us know about it! We’re going to add a “How do I” section, and we’d like law students to let us know what’s most important.
Here’s an example of something similar to what we have in mind, from the Sacramento Public Library:
Law students have participated in focus groups about the Law Library website several times over the past few years, and their feedback has been very helpful. Won’t you help too by filling out our quick survey? It’s only 14 yes/no questions.
New on the shelves – Mar. 2013
Our list of new books is now updated.
In March, the Law Library received books on international legal issues, climate change, and intellectual property (among other topics.) One of our new titles is Law and election politics : the rules of the game. It was edited by Matthew J. Streb, and UCI Law Professor Rick Hasen wrote one of the cover blurbs.
The Law Library’s collection is constantly growing as we purchase books and other resources to support the scholarly and clinical work of faculty and students. Please let us know if you have a suggestion for a new book
New on the shelves – Feb. 2013
Our list of new books is now updated.
In February, the Law Library received books on international legal issues, copyright, and constitutional law (among other topics.) One of our new international titles is a Commentary on the 1958 New York Convention on recognizing and enforcing foreign arbitral awards. (“Commentaries” provide background information on treaties.) We also received a new edition of The Supreme Court Compendium: Data, Decisions, and Developments, which, true to its title, has oodles of tables and charts that summarize data on the justices, the Court’s caseload, public opinion on the Court, etc.

New on the shelves – Jan. 2013
Our list of new books is now updated.
In January, the Law Library received books on a variety of topics, including bankruptcy, international law and human rights, immigration, and trusts. New immigration titles include a couple from the Immigrant Legal Resource Center — these might be useful for students doing pro bono and clinical work in this area. We received a couple of new editions of major legal treatises, too, including the fifth edition of LaFave’s treatise on Search and Seizure.
The Law Library’s collection is constantly growing as we purchase books and other resources to support the scholarly and clinical work of faculty and students. We value feedback from everybody who uses the library, and we hope you’ll let us know if you have a suggestion for a new book
New on the shelves
Books that came in to the Law Library last month are now listed on our website. We plan to update the list every month, so check back if you’re curious about new books coming in.
In December, we received books on a variety of topics, including historical and current legal issues and international law, as well as a title from the ever-popular Rutter series of California practice guides.

Find books on your phone
Now you can search for books, journals, and other material in the new mobile-friendly version of ANTPAC. This simplified interface is much easier to read and use on a small-screen device. Try it out at airpac.lib.uci.edu.
You do still have to use the “Classic” desktop version of ANTPAC if you’d like to log in to see what you have checked out. And there are a few other little things that you can’t do in the mobile version. But in general, this new mobile site provides a zippy, clean way to find books and journals at the Law Library and other UCI Libraries.
We hope you’ll like it!
Expansion Project – Starting Soon!
The Law Library is beginning an expansion project! Some key dates from the current plan:
- Week of Oct. 8 – Close the computer lab.
- Week of Oct. 15 – Close the lower level and move books. (Primary materials go off-site, secondary materials go upstairs.)
- Week of Oct. 22 – Begin construction.
The project is scheduled to end during the Spring semester of the 2012-13 school year. After the expansion, there will be more shelves, more group study rooms, and more study space. So stay tuned – we’ll be posting updates here on the blog!
New copier in the Law Library
It scans! It sends email! It has a paper feeder for copying more than one page at a time! In other words, it is the copier you have been waiting and hoping for.
We are excited to offer this new service in response to student feedback, and we hope it works well for all of your copying needs.
Students: please contact us with comments about Law Library facilities and services.
Catch up with the world on the new Law Library iPad!
We’ve subscribed to The Economist, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and The Wall Street Journal — on a space-saving iPad. So if you’d like to take a break from studying or doing research, wander over to the sofa near the stairs, on the Main level, and look for the iPad. You don’t need to check it out – just pick it up and start browsing.
In addition to subscribing to the titles above, we’ve also loaded a popular reader app called Flipboard. Use it to browse free web content from The Atlantic, The New Yorker, Newsweek, Forbes, Time, the Washington Post, and several other news sources.
