Alexander Campbell King Law Library
Alerts

This form collects many of the alerting services that are available to the UGA Law School community to help keep them abreast of the latest information in their specialties.  Some are freely available to anyone, while access to others has been licensed by the Law Library.

Patrons are encouraged to select the services they would find useful, and use the hyperlinks to visit the homepages and sign up for the alert services.  For those preferring RSS feeds rather than emails, the availability of this alternative has been indicated. 

Any member of the Law School Community may elect to have these services mediated by the Law Library.  Simply check the box of the service that interests you, and submit the request using the button at the bottom.  Be sure to include your name and UGA email address.  Using that information, a librarian will either subscribe you to the alert directly, or contact you for further details.
