The Harvard Law School Library is a private research facility that exists primarily to support the educational and research needs of the Harvard Law School faculty, staff and students and, secondarily, the needs of the Harvard University community. Consistent with its primary purpose, the Library attempts to serve the legitimate needs of scholars and researchers requiring access to the Law Library's unique collections.

As a member of the United States Federal Depository Library Program, the Harvard Law School Library receives selected U.S. government documents. The Library is obligated by law to provide free access to these documents, which may be maintained and technically supported on the Internet or in other electronic formats, as well as held by the Library in paper or microformat.

To apply for access to the Library, you may print out and mail a copy of the application. Access fees may apply; please consult the application form for details.
