Attorney Services

Reference Assistance

While the needs of the Campbell Law community are first priority, the reference librarians also assist members of the North Carolina Bar.

Reference librarians may:

  • help patrons locate law library resources
  • instruct patrons in the use of library materials and electronic resources
  • suggest appropriate resources and research strategies
  • look up readily available information, such as legal citation verifications, addresses or telephone numbers
  • assist patrons with locating resources not found in the law library collection
  • refer patrons to other libraries or institutions for materials

Reference librarians may not:

  • conduct legal research on patron's behalf
  • interpret the law
  • provide legal advice
  • read statutes, cases, court rules, or definitions over the phone

Attorneys may call the library to request reference assistance. However, telephone assistance is limited by the availability of staff.

E-mail service is also available for simple, direct questions (e.g., hours, policies, book or legal citation verifications).

Library Catalog & Databases

Search our print and electronic collection.

 

All the library's databases are available on workstations in the library and on your device within the law school. To view a complete list, see the A-Z Database list. Only those that do not require a personal login (Bloomberg, Lexis, Westlaw) are accessible to attorneys.

Westlaw Public Access

Complimentary limited access to Westlaw is available. Ask the circulation desk attendant for the login instructions.

With Westlaw Public Access, attorneys can search primary federal and state law, as well as validate research with KeyCite.

Printing is not available, but you can email or download documents, within limits.
