The Law Library of Congress was established in 1832 to provide the U.S. Congress and Supreme Court with access to current and accurate legal materials. Entering its third century of service, the Law Library’s mission has expanded to include other branches of the U.S. government, the public and the global legal community. This evolving mission is supported by a collection of more than 2.6 million volumes and a staff of 100 lawyers, librarians, other professionals and support staff. The Law Library has grown over the years to become the world’s largest, with a collection that spans the ages and covers virtually every jurisdiction in the world. As the leading research center for foreign, comparative and international law, the Library also provides valuable reference assistance to the scholarly community and to researchers across the nation and the globe.
