Your use of the law library does not end when you graduate from law school. The law library welcomes alumni and members of the bench and bar to take advantage of the many resources available at the law library.
Alumni, and members of the bench and bar, may apply for a library card to borrow materials. The library subscribes to a variety of resources in print format that may interest practitioners, including PBI materials as well as major Pennsylvania treatises and forms.
Alumni, members of the bench and bar, and public patrons should also review our Borrowing Privileges and the Building Access information before coming to campus.
