The Document Delivery Service provides a way for non-affiliates to order copies of materials in the Law Library. We can usually provide same-day service including photocopying, emailing, telefaxing, and a limited amount of research. Orders may be placed via phone, fax, or e-mail.
The Document Delivery Service does not include the borrowing of books. Borrowing is available only to members of our Subscription Service and to participants of our Inter-Library Loan program for academic and public libraries.
