Law Library

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.

The Law Collection covers not only Hong Kong and English law, but also Chinese law and the law of other major common law jurisdictions. It includes a substantial range of law books, bound law reports, statutes, and law journals. Access to a broad selection of electronic databases, electronic journals, and ebooks is available both on campus and remotely. In addition, the print collection is rigorously selected to focus on relevant journals, reports, and digests spanning a diverse range of legal topics. The media resources support varied interests, from advocacy and civil evidence to international mooting.

The Library also maintains two special collections. The English Law Special Collection, held at Shatin Storage, consists of about 1,800 volumes on English legal history. It is regarded as one of the leading collections of its kind in Asia. The Chinese Legal History Special Collection comprises print materials covering the development of Chinese law from ancient period of China to 1949. This collection 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.cityu.edu.hk/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!
