Research
At the Vincent C. Immel Law Library, SLU LAW students, faculty, and staff can receive individualized research assistance and instruction in a variety of ways.
Reference librarians can provide general legal reference services, in-depth legal
research help, and assistance using print and electronic legal resources.
The law librarians are available upon request to give presentations to classes on
specific areas of law and research methods. The Law Library provides the SLU LAW community
with a significant number of resources to support legal research.
Getting Started

Reference librarians are available by appointment to provide research assistance. They can assist in-person, by phone (314-977-1447), and by email (lawref@slu.edu).
Note: State law and library policy prohibit library staff from engaging in any conduct that might constitute the unauthorized practice of law. The staff is unable to interpret statutes, cases and regulations, or to advise patrons regarding their legal rights. The staff may assist patrons in locating materials or links that would aid in individual research.
