 The
Furman Smith Law Library, named to honor a distinguished alumnus,
is the center for legal research information in the Law School and
will serve as the centerpiece of much of your academic work during
your time at the Mercer School of Law.
A premier law library, it is used by lawyers
and judges from across the state and recognized for its superior resources
and service. The lawlibrary occupies over 30,000 square feet in a central
location on the second and third floors of the Walter F. George School
of Law building. Large windows in the library provide students with
views of historic Macon from the law building's location on top of
Coleman Hill.
Cutting-Edge Technology
The computer lab and law library are a fully integrated, functional
unit, so Mercer law students enjoy 24-hour access to a legal information
technology center equipped with more than thirty networked computers
with standard applications and high-speed internet access. There is complete wireless coverage throughout the law school, including the law library and labs, providing access to the network and an array of
electronic and online
research resources.
A Vast Collection of Holdings
The library provides more than 325,000 volumes and over 3,000 serials
dealing with United States and international law, as well as an
extensive collection of materials on bankruptcy and commercial law,
funded by the Southeastern Bankruptcy Law Institute. The library
is a selective government depository as well.
Personalized Service
You will have access to meeting rooms, private study carrels, copy
and document delivery services, interlibrary loan, reference, and
reserve services, and, most importantly, a staff of dedicated library
professionals.
