SCHOOL OF LAW FACILITIES

The Law School is housed in Waterman Hall in the Robert A. Leflar Law Center, a modern, attractive, well-appointed, air-conditioned building. An addition completed in 1975 greatly increased the library, classroom, and office space for the School of Law. The building was again expanded and renovated in 1986 to create additional library space, courtrooms, seminar rooms, office space for the faculty and staff, and a more comfortable student lounge area. The Law Programs Center, a three-story building across the street from Waterman Hall, provides space for the Legal Clinic, the Arkansas Law Review and student organizations.

ROBERT A. AND VIVIAN YOUNG LAW LIBRARY

The Young Law Library, named for its benefactors, contains more than 200,000 volumes. The collection is expanding at a rate of more than 10,000 volumes a year. The case reports and statutes in the library cover every American jurisdiction, and there is an up-to-date and complete collection of legal encyclopedia, digests, tests, treatises, law reviews, reports of administrative agencies, and other government publications.

The Young Law Library is a depository for federal documents. Court records and documents are also available through the library. Included in the library is a growing collection of agricultural law materials developed through the National Center for Agricultural Law Research and Information.

Students researching legal problems may use not only the above described "traditional" legal materials but also computer-assisted legal research. Both LEXIS and WESTLAW computer legal research terminals are available to students. A special computer lab is available for student use.

While primarily designed for the use of Arkansas students, the Young Law Library also serves the research needs of the bench, the bar, and the University faculty. The Young Law Library provides an attractive and comfortable atmosphere for study and research. Included within the law library is the Barrett Hamilton Law Library Mezzanine, a particularly attractive study and shelf space area. In addition, the other University libraries are located near the Law School and are available to law students.
