ACUS, an independent federal agency, studied the efficiency and fairness of the federal administrative process. This unique archival collection at WCL contains working papers of the Conference. It was transferred to the Library in November 1995 under special authorization of The Archivist of the United States. The collection includes drafts of and complete documentary background for every recommendation made by the Conference.
Access is by appointment only.
The Library houses an extensive international law collection including the late Judge Richard Baxter's personal library. Judge Baxter, who was a prominent legal scholar, was a member of the World Court at the time of his death in 1980. The Washington College of Law is especially grateful to Judge Baxter's widow Harriet Baxter, not only for permitting the Library to house her husband's books but also for her generosity in providing financially for further development of the collection for many years. The Library's microform and print collection of League of Nations and United Nations documents complements the Baxter Collection. The client is easy to download and install.
