Following on from recent student surveys, focus groups and UX (user observations) we are working to introduce more collaborative study space into the Law Library to accommodate academic conversation.

These materials can all be requested using online forms, and you'll be provided with a scan of what you need, or it can be retrieved for you and collected from the Philip Robinson Library or Walton Library.
