We regret that we will be unable to provide scans of any materials during this closure. In compliance with the "Stay Home, Stay Safe" executive order, there will be no library staff in the building to fulfill scanning requests.
We have been able to find alternative access for many print resources as many publishers have stepped up to offer free access to their materials during the pandemic crisis. You can find information about casebooks, study guides, and other legal resources here on our site. You can also find information on emergency access to non-legal and interdisciplinary sources provided by the University Library as well as tips on accessing electronic resources through our library, and through the main university library.
For any other resources, please feel free to reach out to the librarians for assistance.
For questions about accessing Law Library resources, or any other legal research needs, please email askalawlibrarian@umich.edu.
