The Research Center (aka "the library") welcomes you to Florida State Law! As many students before you have discovered, the expert research librarians and resources of the Research Center are your not-so-secret weapon for success in law school and beyond.

This guide is meant to introduce you to a number of the resources the Research Center has available to help you in your first year in law school. This guide is just a starting point, and we encourage you to come to the Research Center if you have any questions or use our virtual reference service.
