This project will include a new classroom building and an expansion of the library. The Library is located within the Law School building. The Library's collection spans two floors of the school. The Library contains over 250,000 bound and microform volumes including copies of all published reports of the state and federal courts in the United States, all federal and state statutes, periodicals and other American legal materials. The Library is also a United States federal government document selective depository.
Law students have access to the internet from the computer lab.
In addition to internet access and wordprocessing by students, the computer lab is also used for computer assisted legal instruction. The City of Jackson Jackson is a striking combination of attractive public buildings, lovely residential areas and stately antebellum structures. The metropolitan area, which has a population of approximately 400,000 people, continues to grow and prosper as it advances toward becoming a leader in business, education, the arts, and recreation. As the seat of state government, Jackson provides an ideal opportunity for law school students to observe what they have learned in the classroom. The United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi and the chambers of several members of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit are also in close proximity to the school.
