Library
The Underwood Law Library contains more than 600,000 volumes and access to numerous
legal databases, and is one of the major legal information resources in the United
States. American legal materials, federal and state, include constitutions, legislative
compilations, administrative regulations, and the reported court decisions of all
jurisdictions. The treatise holdings cover all areas of the law with special strength
in corporate, securities, and tax matters. Periodical titles, Texas and United States
government documents, appellate papers for cases in the Texas Supreme Court and
the Supreme Court of the United States, and related digests, encyclopedias, and
indices, round out a comprehensive current information resource.
The collection includes primary source material, treatises, and journals from Great
Britain, the European Union, the Commonwealth of Nations, and selected jurisdictions
from Western Europe, Latin America, and the Pacific Rim. International law materials
are a strong resource that includes documentation from the United Nations and relevant
publications from a number of international organizations.
The Library also houses
a student computer lab and classroom with access to word processing, the Internet,
electronic mail, and programmed legal exercises. The Library has a wireless network
throughout the building.
