Comments
The Leon E. Bloch Law Library is not only a place to study, but a laboratory for students to master legal research skills, both in traditional print and electronic media. In August of 2011, a newly renovated floor for the library will be opened. Its focus is on first year legal research and writing and a new collaborative technology learning lab to facilitate mastery of on-line legal research skills. The library’s collection has a special focus on advocacy, urban law, family law, small business entrepreneurship and tax law. The library's foreign law holdings are being increased and access to historical materials has dramatically expanded. The library is also home to rare, early seventeenth century editions of Sir Edward Coke's treatises and case reports and photographs and memorabilia from the Nuremburg trials.
The library and IT staff consist of seven librarians and nine staff members. The law library is especially strong with respect to the expertise of its librarians, most of whom teach courses in legal research and have practiced law for many years or worked as paralegals. Perhaps, unique among law schools, the Library’s Electronic Resource Center hosts a free laptop clinic, where law students can go with computer and technology problems, many of which can be fixed at the clinic.
UMKC enrolls approximately 13,000 students and is located in the historic Country Club district of Kansas City which offers excellent dining and shopping. The law school has approximately 515 students, 33 full-time faculty, and excellent technology resources. More information about the UMKC School of Law may be found at http://law.umkc.edu/.
