Robert Crown Law Library

From its humble beginnings of a single bookcase holding a set of The Pony Law Series, the Robert Crown Law Library has grown to a collection of over 500,000 print volumes and an incredible array of online databases. Our professional librarians and staff work closely with both faculty and students to answer a variety of research questions as well as help to identify and retrieve the legal and interdisciplinary materials.

The library is situated on four floors, with wireless internet access throughout. The first floor includes a beautiful, sunny reading room, with tables, carrels, and easy chairs along with computers and study rooms. The second floor includes, in addition to the reference staff, many resources for starting research. The Second Floor Stacks and the Open Reserve Room provide tables and study carrels for student use. There is also a computer classroom for online database instruction located on the second floor. The third floor is ringed with study carrels situated among trees which grow on this floor - a peaceful place to work or relax.

Providing the tools, resources and staff necessary to support the dynamically evolving Stanford Law program, the Robert Crown Law Library also houses a newly renovated reading room-a comfortable place to study and collaborate.
