Special Collections

Intellectual Property

The Franklin Pierce Law Center is consistently rated among the top five intellectual property training school in the nation. The Intellectual Property Library opened January 1, 1995, after several decades of collection development of traditional IP topics. The IP Library now develops the collection far beyond traditional IP topics to include all subjects offered in the IP curriculum such as entertainment, e-commerce, sports, publishing, multimedia, cyberspace, information technology, art and music and computer law.

Exams

in

The Library receives copies of released exams from the Registrar's Office in print format.  We scan these to make them available online to our students, then we bind the print format, and shelve it in Reference.

Pierce Law Library does not receive exams that the Professors have elected not to release to the library. Some professors release their exams through alternative methods, such as online sites they have set up.
