Law

The caselaw collection of the James Hardiman Library is available to all NUI Galway students and staff.

We have a print collection and an extensive online collection of cases. 

The print caselaw collection is located on the podium floor of the Library and is accessible during Library opening times.

• The  Guide to Caselaw and Law Reports explains how to understand a caselaw citation and also includes a summary listing of our caselaw holdings in print and electronic form (on second page).
• The Cardiff Index to Legal Abbreviations is a very useful resource for locating full titles of journals and reports.

• Unreported judgments from the Irish High Court and Supreme Court from 1968-2005 are located in the Law Office.

The caselaw databases are available via the Library Website. A quick listing of our most frequent requests is provided to the right with a short online tutorial if available.
