Scene from a
Nuremburg trial - just one example from the treasure trove we call
Digital Commons

Wouldn't it be wonderful if all of the Law
School's intellectual output were captured digitally and made available
in one easy-to-access place? It would be even better if one could also
access digitized versions of the Law Library's special collections and
the Law School's institutional archives.
Good
News! That is exactly what the Digital Commons@University
of Georgia School of Law institutional repository
provides. Visit our Digital Commons to find decades of faculty
scholarship, LL.M. theses, conference
materials, Sibley and House Lectures, commencement speeches and other
archival material.
Our
Digital Commons includes items in a variety of formats, including
print, image, audio, and video:
- view
the video of the Law
School's 106th Sibley Lecture, delivered by Professor William
Eskridge, Jr. on March 18, 2010 at the Law School
- look
for articles and
working papers authored by your favorite law professor
- explore
court documents and photos in our Phillips
Nuremburg Trials Collection, which provides court documents and
photos from the post-World War II trials held during 1945-1949 (see
photo above)
- look
for LL.M. theses, student organization documents, and other student works
- revisit
decades
of Law School news in the Law School Archives Collection, which
includes press releases, photographs, the Georgia Law Advocate magazine, semester schedules, and other
Law School publications
- learn
more about the subjects of the many portraits displayed throughout the
Law School in the Portrait
Collection
The
above is just a sampling of the 3,000+ items you can find in our
Digital Commons, and the repository continues to grow at a rapid pace.
If you need any assistance using this rich resource, our Reference Team
will be happy to help.

Green Coasters
|
|
In response to a student request, the Law Library now provides
"real" coasters for use in the Law Library. We also wanted them to be
eco-friendly, and research pointed to cork as a good solution.
Look
around the reading rooms or ask at the Circulation Desk if you need a
new "green
coaster" for your beverage.
