Collection development is the foundation on which the library achieves its mission of providing legal information to students, faculty / adjuncts, staff, alumni and members of the bench and bar. Our Collection Development Policy provides guidelines for the continued development of the collection. Selection of materials is made within the context of institutional goals and in compliance with standards promulgated by the American Bar Association (ABA) and Association of American Law Schools (AALS). The policy is reviewed periodically and revised as required.
