Collections of the MacMillan Law Library
The Law Library’s Mission Statement emphasizes that the role of the Library is “to support the teaching, research and service missions of the Law School and of Emory University.” The Law Library’s core collections are maintained to enable us to fulfill this goal. We hold an extensive print and electronic collection of resources integral to any academic law library, including both primary and secondary legal materials, as well as a wide variety of special and rare materials, study aids, and leisure materials. See details about our collections below.
See a complete list of our Electronic Resources, or search Library Search, the Emory online catalog, for specific resources in the Law Library.
