The Library maintains a TWEN site called HUSL Past Exams where we post content provided by professors. It's a useful source to check when studying or preparing for exams.

REFERENCE SERVICES  

Librarians can help HUSL students with locating specific titles, identifying and using appropriate legal sources, and provide a general overview of the library's information systems, services, and collections. 

FALL 2020 HOURS / SPRING 2021 HOURS: Monday-Friday, 9:00 am - 5:00 pm ET

HUSL Library is a member of the Washington Research Library Consortium (WRLC), along with 15 other university libraries in the area.  As a member, we use the WRLC catalog, which can be accessed on the Law Library's website.

CIRCULATION SERVICES  

The Circulation Desk is located at the entrance to the library on the first floor.  Library staff at Circulation can help you check out HUSL library books or borrowing from other libraries.  Interlibrary loan requests should be submitted to reference@law.howard.edu.  Please note the during the Fall 2020 semester, circulation services will necessarily be adjusted and delayed in order to safely serve the HUSL community.  Please reach out to us by email for more information.
