Law Library
The Law School Library is split over four levels in the David Derham Law School Building. Architecturally, the building reflects the post-World War II popularity of modernism. Academic staff offices surround the library. The main areas of student activity are located on the first level. The Monash Law Students' Society office (colloquially 'LSS') and the adjoining room provide LSS members and LSS officials' office space and recreation area. The Monash Law Courtyard is currently under development, and is predicted to be completed by July 2012. This will provide an outdoor area at the entrance of the Law School, which will serve for socialising and events.
The Library houses a major collection of printed and electronic material. In addition to the many online databases and e-books, its physical collection contains over 150, 000 items. Most Commonwealth jurisdiction law reports can be found, including non-official and official reports. These include law reports from Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the United Kingdom, the Pacific Island regions, the United States and Europe. A relatively large staff run the library, helping students, organising books, carrying out repair work and supervision of the law library.
