Research Help

Authorized visitors are able to access the building during all open hours. Authorized building visitors include students, faculty and staff of University System of Maryland Campuses; attorneys; School of Law alumni; guest speakers; clinic clients; admitted and prospective students; and UMMC and VA staff. Students with valid ids may bring guests into the library. Law library hours can be found here.

The Thurgood Marshall Law Library primarily supports members of the public and their research needs remotely. Due to the inherently dynamic nature of staffing and capacity, this model will ensure we are able to support members of the public more equitably. Members of the public are encouraged to complete the Research Assistance Request Form to outline their research request, and someone will reach out to you using your preferred contact method during regular business hours. The library will remain available to members of the public with legal research needs on Fridays between 10:00am – 4:00pm or by appointment during a mutually agreeable time.

Please check the calendar or call us at (410) 706-6502 before coming to campus to ensure we will be open.
