Law Student Resources

1L Study Aids Overview

The Law Library no longer comprehensively collects study aids in print. Instead,  the Law Library provides law students with access to three digital platforms for study materials (see Online Study Aids elsewhere in this guide).

However, the Law Library does selectively maintain a collection of current print study aids for 1L courses on Reserve. The seletive titles, along with the online versions, are listed by course below.
