Welcome to a new school year! Whether you’re just starting your law school journey or returning for another semester, the library team is excited to support you. We’ve spent the summer getting ready for the months ahead, and we want to make sure you start strong. Below you’ll find helpful information about casebooks and study aids to help you hit the ground running in your first week of classes.
CASEBOOK INFORMATION
Current editions of required print casebooks adopted by BLS faculty & many print study aids are in BLS Library's first-floor"Reserve"collection. Students can borrow these sources for 2-hours at BLS Library's first-floor circulation desk. The circulation desk is staffed starting at 8am M-F, and availability of adopted course texts is often good on early weekday mornings. Also, the BLS student chapter of the National Lawyers Guild organizes a textbook exchange, and BLS students can contact this chapter at nlg@brooklaw.edu
Bls has opted into an Early eBook Access Program with two publishers, so you can obtain free, temporary access to current editions of adopted casebooks if they are West Academic, Foundation Press, or Aspen Publishing titles one week before classes start and for the first two weeks of class. These programs are designed to help with any inventory, shipping, financial aid, or drop/add period issues. Access is currently available.Additional details are below.

If you would like to continue your access after the trial ends, they have the option to purchase a discounted eBook on their bookshelf.
