And please come to the Law Library in Hugh Aston 1.81 (HU 1.81) as not everything is available online. The Law Library has got many books, journals and law reports and is a great place to study too!

For quick questions, use the JustAsk LibChat function (red tab on the right of this page), take a look at the FAQs or access our Academic Support Drop-In. For more in depth queries, email or make an appointment with your Librarian (details below librarian's profile photo).
