Lillian Goldman Law Library

In Memory of Sol Goldman

The Lillian Goldman Law Library is located within the heart of the Yale Law School com plex, providing the Law School community with ready access to one of the world’s finest collections of printed legal materials, an expansive array of licensed digital resources, a growing collection of digitized and born-digital materials, and an exceptional team of law librarians. The Law Library has been recognized with numerous awards from the American Association of Law Libraries, and the Yale Law Women awarded the library staff collectively the YLW Staff Excellence Award in 2014.

The Law Library’s collections, both print and digital, include an especially rich assortment of texts and treatises emphasizing law and the social sciences and humanities, reflecting Yale’s traditionally broad approach to the study of law. The equally long- standing international interests of the Law School faculty and students are supported by a 250,000-volume foreign and international law collection, which is complemented by licensed digital resources selected in accordance with the geographical and subject interests of our faculty and students. The domestic law materials for countries other than the United States consist of primary and secondary sources for most European jurisdictions and many other countries, collected both in English and the vernacular.
