Library Services for Alumni

Graduates of the Law School are welcome to use the D'Angelo Law Library and its collections. Our reference librarians are happy to assist recent graduates with research at their firms, and to help locate sources of legal information and to assist with complex research projects  including legislative history, international law, and the law of foreign countries. Reference services are available in person at the D’Angelo Law Library service desk or via telephone, email or instant message, see http://www.lib.uchicago.edu/e/law/using/reference/ask.html

Lawyers, judges, and court personnel will be admitted to the D'Angelo Law Library by showing their bar card or court ID. Alumni may also register for reference privileges at the Regenstein Library, for business and finance research, and the John Crerar Library, for science and medical research.

While reference privileges are free, alumni may purchase borrowing privileges from the Identification & Privileges office. The interlibrary loan office will borrow books from other libraries for a small fee for alumni with borrowing privileges.

Alumni may use electronic databases and e-journals on public computers anywhere in the Library. Due to license restrictions, we cannot offer off-campus access to databases to graduates, but only to current students and faculty. Alumni are, of course, more than welcome to use the D'Angelo Law Library web page.
