Loyola's Law eCommons provides free access to research, scholarship, and creative works created by the Loyola Law community for the benefit of Loyola students, faculty, staff, and the larger academic community.  The Law eCommons provides access to both published and unpublished works.

In addition to the 24/7 availability of our online resources, each faculty member is assigned a professional librarian as a liaison. These Liaisons assist faculty by:

• locating and obtaining resources
• performing specialized research projects
• creating bibliographies and "webliographies"
• guest lecturing to classes on specialized aspects of legal research
• assisting and training research assistants

If you're not sure who your liaison is, or have lost their contact information, please check the Faculty Liaison List, or contact the Reference Desk, at 5-7205.

The Law Library is open seven days a week, year round, with the exception of posted holidays. Please visit our Law Library Calendars & Hours page for specific daily time and schedule changes.
