Research Guides: Non-Law School Patron Guide to Law Library Access and Use Policies: Home

Welcome

Welcome to the Robert S. Marx Law Library!

This guide is intended to introduce you to the many ways that the Law Library can assist non-law patrons. While 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 many of 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 access the Law Library 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.

Library Access

The University of Cincinnati recognizes the health and safety benefits of a multi-phased return to campus in advance of the start of the fall semester. Each of the four phases of this stepwise approach is underpinned by a set of essential health and safety measures. All members of our community are expected to do their part to ensure the health and safety of themselves and others.

At this time the Robert S. Marx physical location is closed. We continue to support our students, faculty and staff online. Faculty and students needing law library assistance should contact a law librarian.

Library users are encouraged to keep library materials. Fines will not be incurred for UC, OhioLINK or Interlibrary Loan items. UC Library Services Update
