Legal Studies at UCB

Legal Studies focuses on the study of law and justice, including legal institutions and the legal process, from a humanistic perspective. The courses deal with a wide variety of subjects, including philosophy of law, American legal history, non-western legal traditions, politics and law, the criminal justice process, property law, and economic regulation.

The UC Berkeley Library maintains a research-level collection in legal sudies to support not only the department's teaching programs, but many other disciplines, interdisciplinary programs, and professional schools.

The Legal Studies collection is housed in the underground Gardner (Main) Stacks, which connects the Doe and Moffitt Libraries. The Moffitt Library also maintains a collection of core, high-use English language materials of particular relevance to the undergraduate curriculum. Reference materials in the social sciences, including government documents, are located in the Reference Center and North Reading Room on the 2nd floor of Doe. 

The Law Library collects law materials, less legal studies, and has strict access and circulation policies for non-UCB Law students.
