Some of the materials for European countries and for Latin American countries have been classified by the Library of Congress classification, but the majority of these materials are still under the old shelving schemes devised by the Library before Library of Congress numbers were available. The general outline of the Library of Congress classification scheme appears below. Most of the call number locations below are only for books with an online catalog location designation of UIUC Law Stacks. If you cannot locate a book, please check the online catalog location designation. Several other discrete collections are arranged by different classification schemes.
Descriptions are available of the documents and foreign law collections.
Follow the menu instructions, which are self-explanatory. For more sophisticated searches on the online catalog, or for help with the online catalog, consult a reference librarian. Not all the materials in the Law Library are listed in the online catalog. If you cannot find what you want online, try the two card catalogs on the main floor in the reference area. This catalog is slowly being replaced or supplemented by the online catalog.
