Failure to comply with this policy may result in forfeiture of carrel privileges and a limitation of Library privileges. A continuing disregard of this policy constitutes a law student Honor Code violation. The Law Library collection can be divided into primary sources, secondary sources, and finding tools. Finding tools do not circulate. Primary sources of the law contain materials that are legally binding, rather than descriptive or analytical.
Secondary sources provide non-authoritative, descriptive or analytical commentary on the law.
Some secondary sources do circulate. This includes those treatises which are updated with pocket parts and supplements. In addition, looseleaf services and multivolume sets of more than two volumes do not circulate. Finding tools are the means for locating primary and secondary sources. Examples are case digests, citators, indexes, topical looseleaf services, and special subject reporters.
