The Rutgers Law Library exists to support the research and study needs of the students, faculty and staff of the Rutgers School of Law at Newark. Members of the public may use the resources of the Law Library to conduct legal research. Patrons without a Rutgers University identification card are requested to sign in at the Circulation Desk. The Law Library uses this information for statistical reports, collection development and circulation control. The Reference Librarians can not provide legal advice or help you make decisions regarding your legal rights and liabilities, nor can they interpret statutes, cases or any other materials for you. Reference librarians can direct you to sources which may help answer your questions. Patrons are reminded that because of the complicated nature of many legal problems, the services of a qualified attorney may be required.
