Access

Franklin Pierce Law Center Library is a private law library serving the research needs of Pierce Law's faculty and students.  Alumni/ae of Pierce Law enjoy free access to the library forever.  An Attorney Membership program provides subscribers with access to the library and special privileges in exchange for an annual fee. 

Shelving

Please do not re-shelve the library books you use

To serve you better, we've initated a new policy that only employees of the law library re-shelve books.

There is a book truck on the main floor and in the IP Library for you to place books on for later re-shelving.

Thank you.
