Printed resources for jurisprudence

The working collection is on open shelves in the Wing (think beyond the Photocopying Room!) on the main Reading Room floor.

Specialist, legal philosophy journals are followed by textbooks, monographs etc. They all have shelf marks starting Jurisp. Remember that many non-specialist journals  (such as the Oxford Journal of Legal Studies) often publish articles on legal philosophy - be prepared to visit other parts of the LawBod.

To do a subject search in SOLO, there are 4 major classifications to try:

Jurisprudence

Sociological Jurisprudence

Law and economics

Law and ethics

Alternatively, you could try adding philosophy after a legal topic eg Private law - philosophy.

Law Library: Reserve Collection

When you search SOLO for texts you may find - especially if the text is recommended on an undergrad reading list - that the location is shown as "Law Library Reserve Collection." (To see what I mean - click on the blue title link of the book below, then the locations tab.) Armed with your University Card/Reader's Ticket and desk number, please ask for these books at the Reserve Collection desk in the Reading Room and they will be issued to you for use in the Library.
