The Run Run Shaw Library provides an excellent collection of law materials including print and electronic resources as well as an extensive array of research support services and facilities.

Materials in the Law Collection cover not only Hong Kong and English law, but also Chinese law and the law of other major common law jurisdictions. The collection of law books, bound law reports, statutes, and law journals now reaches over 128,000 volumes. There are more than 20 electronic databases and a wide selection of electronic journals and electronic books. The majority of these electronic resources can be accessed throughout the campus as well as remotely. There are more than 200 subscriptions of print journals, statutes, law reports and digests. The media resources cover a diverse range of legal subjects, from advocacy, civil evidence to international mooting.

In addition, there are two special collections. Housed in the Shatin Storage, the English Law Special Collection consists of about 1,800 volumes on English legal history. Some publications were published as early as the 16th century. It is considered one of the best collections of its kind in Asia. The Chinese Legal History Special Collection is made up of over 3,200 volumes of print materials, covering the period of Ancient China to 1949. It is kept on campus.

We are committed to supporting our users in making the best use of our collection for teaching, learning, and research purposes. We also provide all-round services from reference enquiry, library workshops to research guides, and more. On the facilities and equipment side, the moot room is available to students for mooting preparation, and the Law Academic Commons is available to all faculty and staff for meetings. Computer workstations, printers, and photocopiers are also available in the Library. Visit the library website http://www.ncm2.xyz/lib/collect/law/index.htm to explore more.

The Library is located on 3/F, Yeung Kin Man Academic Building. We look forward to seeing you in the Library!
