Movies? At the Law Library?
|
|
|
We
have recently expanded the DVD collection at the Law Library. Now located
behind the reference desk, the collection includes documentaries, instructional
material, and popular movies like The Godfather, A Few Good Men, Thurgood,
and My Cousin Vinny.
All of the DVDs may be checked out for 3 days. Take a minute to browse the collection or click here for a full list
of the DVDs that we have for your enjoyment. We would love to hear
your suggestions for DVDs that you think we should add to the collection.
Please leave your suggestions at the circulation desk.

Law Library Makes Historic Georgia Codes Available Online
|
|
You might be surprised how often people expect an attorney to know the “current law” on any
given topic. You might also be surprised how often an attorney has to research
the historical development of a current law. The Law Library has recently
worked with LYRASIS, a library collaborative organization, to make available
the historic Georgia codes
beginning with 1799. Technically speaking the early titles were not codes
but compilations by private individuals. The 1860 code was authored by T.R.R. Cobb,
one of the founders of the Law School. These materials will be permanently
and publicly available on the Internet Archive. Links are available in our
research guide for State Law Resources.

New Displays
|
|
Keep
an eye out for our changing book displays in the Law Library's Reading Room,
just to the right of the doors leading to the Annex.
Last month the area featured a display honoring Black History Month. Currently, we are displaying materials about international criminal courts in support of the Rusk Center lecture on war crimes tribunals. Look soon for a display to commemorate Women's History Month.
And remember: you can check out the materials in these displays!
