Law Library
The library houses more than 340,000 volumes of law and law-related material and serves as a depository for US government documents. Eight librarians (six with law degrees) teach the research component of the Legal Methods course. The law library, like the entire University of Utah campus, is a wireless environment. First-year students are provided with their own study hall - named Gibson Hall, AKA "the Gibby" - furnished with group-study tables and open carrels. Second and Third-year students are provided private carrels with personal lockable compartments in a modern spacious facility with the latest technological equipment and library research services.

Famous quotes containing the words law and/or library:
“The law of nature is alternation for evermore. Each electrical state superinduces the opposite. The soul environs itself with friends, that it may enter into a grander self-acquaintance or solitude; and it goes alone for a season, that it may exalt its conversation or society.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Our civilization has decided ... that determining the guilt or innocence of men is a thing too important to be trusted to trained men.... When it wants a library catalogued, or the solar system discovered, or any trifle of that kind, it uses up its specialists. But when it wishes anything done which is really serious, it collects twelve of the ordinary men standing round. The same thing was done, if I remember right, by the Founder of Christianity.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
