Collections

The Wolf Law Library's collection of over 350,000 volumes includes all basic materials necessary for research and study in Anglo-American law. Essentially all reported decisions of the federal, state, and territorial courts, as well as decisions of the courts of England and selected Commonwealth countries, are maintained. The collection also contains all editions of the United States Code, all current codes of the fifty states and territories, the statutes of England, Canada, and Australia, federal administrative decisions, and special subject area reports. There is a carefully selected, well-rounded collection of treatises in law and related fields, encyclopedias, digests, and citators.

The library also maintains several special collections that add interest and depth to our research collections. These include periodicals in the English language; substantial collections in international law, Roman law, environmental law, and jurisprudence; and general and legal reference materials. The Law Library is also a selective depository of federal government documents. To help faculty and students stay current with national and world events or to provide a break from studying, the library maintains a collection of magazines and newspapers and a popular book and video collection.

The collection is arranged on three floors:

The ground floor includes the Bound Periodical Collection. Superseded and little-used materials are maintained in a locked compact shelving area.

The main floor includes the Reserve & Popular Video collections located behind the Circulation Desk. Encyclopedic materials, federal statutes, reporters, and other federal materials, digests, regional reporters, and a core collection of Virginia materials are located in the main stack area on this floor. Newspapers and popular magazines, current popular books and the reference collection are also located on this floor.

The top floor contains all classified texts and treatises, federal administrative agency decisions, and materials from the fifty states and U. S. territories.
