The socio-legal studies collections are housed in two locations:
houses the research and teaching collections of the former library of the Centre for Socio-Legal Studies and is the primary library for teaching support in this subject. The SSL also holds a core journal collection and material reflecting the research interests of the Centre since it was founded in 1972.
has extensive UK legal deposit and foreign collections covering all aspects of law and includes historical and expansive works on crime, criminal justice and penal systems.
