Through the Legal Research Institute, the Law Library of Congress offers a wide variety of legal research classes to members of the public on topics of American legal research, as well as foreign and comparative law. The Orientation to Legal Research series covers research strategies and resources related to federal statutes, U.S. case law, and federal regulations. The Orientation to Law Library Collections Webinar provides an introduction to the collections and services specific to the Law Library of Congress, including digital resources available through the Law Library’s website.
Established by Congress in 1832, the Law Library has a collection of over 2.65 million volumes spanning the ages and covering virtually every jurisdiction in the world.
We cannot provide legal advice, interpretation, or analysis which could be interpreted as the practice of law; extensive bibliographies or legislative histories; or answers for student homework assignments.
