Welcome to the Robert S. Marx Law Library

Members of the public may gain access to the Law Library during normal hours of operation for the purpose of performing legal research or accessing U.S. Federal Depository resources held by the Library.  The primary mission of the Robert S. Marx Law Library is to support research, scholarship, and learning for faculty and students in the College of Law. The Law Library also makes its resources available to members of the University of Cincinnati community, and the local bench and bar. Members of the general public, businesses, and organizations may have access to the Law Library's resources on site for the purpose of conducting legal research. Individuals who wish to use the Law Library's collection of U.S. Federal Depository documents are also welcome.

 

Building Access

  • Visitors to the College of Law during regular business hours (8:00am -- 5:00pm) should enter through the Clifton Avenue doors.

  • Visitors with ADA issues and all after-business-hours and weekend visitors must use the sliding glass doors at the back of the building.  This service is only available during hours that the Law Library is open. See Library Hours for a schedule of open hours.
 

Lending of Library Materials

  • The Law Library does not lend library materials to public patrons. Members of the Hamilton County Law Library who wish to check out materials should request our materials through them. Information on becoming a community borrower and borrowing privileges can be found at http://www.libraries.uc.edu/services/borrow.

  • Library materials may be used within the Library during regular hours, but may not be removed from the Library. Under certain circumstances, an I.D. will be required to use materials on the premises. Photocopiers are available in the Library for the use of all patrons.
 

Library Hours

Non-law school patrons may gain access to the Law Library during normal hours of operation for the purpose of performing legal research or accessing U.S. Federal Depository resources held by the Library.

During the regular academic year, the Law Library is accessible to area patrons:

  • Monday -- Friday: 8:00 am to 10:00 pm
  • Saturday: 9:00 am to 10:00 pm 
  • Sunday: 10:00 am to 10:00 pm

The Law Library's hours of operation vary during holidays and semester break periods. For that reason, we advise public patrons to telephone the Law Library at 513-556-0163 in advance of their visit to confirm that the library is open. Law Library hours are also posted on the College of Law website at http://www.law.uc.edu/library/.
