Excellent research facilities are proved by the law library, which is one of the largest in New Jersey. Consisting of more than 565,000 bibliographic units in print, microform and non-print serial subscriptions, the research materials of the collection are arranged in open stacks to permit convenient and direct access. In addition to the traditional materials, the library subscribes to a number of computerized research systems, on which all students are trained as part of the law school’s required legal research and writing program, and provides access to the myriad databases available on the Internet. It is an owner-member of RLIN (Research Libraries Information Network) with computer-linked access to the largest research collections in the nation.

The law library consists of four floors of book-stacks and over 400 individual study areas, carrels, and lounge seats, including a spacious reading room on the library bridge that provides sweeping views of the campus.
