About the Collections

The largest portion of our law collections relate to the careers of American legal professionals serving in national-level positions and to trials and tribunals following twentieth-century wars. Prominent in these collections are transcripts of proceedings and legal decisions, photographs, and correspondence between justices, lawyers, and defendants. Books and periodicals in our library collections represent the legal theories and systems of the world, and their applications of law during historical events.
