The Valparaiso Law Library seeks to provide the highest quality service in support of learning, teaching, scholarship, and research at the School of Law. With its skilled and dedicated staff, varied collection, and wide range of services, the library supports the teaching and research mission of Valparaiso University School of Law.

As the largest legal research facility in Northwest Indiana, our library contains more than 314,000 volumes in hard copy and microforms, and offers electronic access to LEXIS/NEXIS, WESTLAW, CALI, Lexis/Nexis Congressional, Access UN, Hein Online, ADR World, LegalTrac, LLMC Digital, RIA Checkpoint, the U.N. Treaty Collection, BNA Core titles, and the Inspire Network. Since we believe that the ability to perform legal research is a skill that is essential to the practice of law, we place a high priority on providing research instruction to law students on both a formal and an informal basis. Our professional law librarians even teach a very popular internet research continuing legal education course.

Whatever your legal research and resource needs are, chances are we can offer some quick assistance. Reference questions are often an opportunity for librarians to provide one-on-one teaching of research strategies and techniques.
