Library Policies for Visitors
Although the primary mission of the Daniel F. Cracchiolo Law Library is to support the curricular, scholarship, and research needs of the James E. Rogers College of Law’s students and faculty, the Law Library also provides access to legal materials to the University of Arizona community and members of the general public.
View our Law Library policies page for general information about the library and our policies related to access, circulation, collection development, conduct, and special collections.

Reference Services
Our Reference Team is available by appointment to assist members of the local bar and the general public with legal research. While the Reference Librarians can assist you with locating and using print and online sources available in the Law Library, they cannot provide legal advice on specific legal problems.
Reference services are available by appointment only.
Please email the Reference Team at: reference@law-arizona.libanswers.com to schedule an appointment. Before making a trip to the Law Library, please examine our list of free electronic resources to see if the information you need is available freely on the Internet.
The librarians at the College of Law have prepared useful Legal Research Guides to assist our visitors with legal research. Before you begin your research, take a look at our LibGuides page.
