History Day is taking place at Senate House, University of London today from 11.00am to 4.00pm. The Librarian and Archivist will be there showcasing various collections and items from the Inner Temple, including a leaflet on the Gunpowder Plot.

The Library is closing at 3.00pm on Grand Day, Wednesday 6 November. The document supply service will still be available until 5.00pm.

Our Halloween book exhibition ‘The Law of the Dead’ in Room E is available to view until Tuesday and free bookmarks are available to take away from our spooky display in Room B.

The Library has responded to a user’s request and now has a coat rack/umbrella stand in the Photocopier Room Lobby next to the water cooler.

Please bring your refillable bottles when you visit the Library. We no longer have disposable cups at the water cooler as part of our plan to be more sustainable.

A list of New Law Titles and Editions received by the Library between July to September 2024 has just been published.

The date of the next session on legal research is Wednesday 23 October via Zoom. Library staff will go over the basics as well as some of the topics you may not yet be familiar with. Booking is via Eventbrite.

On 10 September, as a representative of the Inner Temple Library, James Rowles partook in the lecture to the new ICCA students delivered by the four Libraries of the Inns of Court on legal research, held in the very impressive lecture theatre at the Inner Temple.

Using a legal scenario on copyright law, we worked through how they can use both the legal databases and the hard copy collections available at the Inns’ Libraries to answer the legal questions that the scenario posed.

This is a great opportunity to introduce the students to the libraries and the librarians and give them a firm foundation in legal research which will be an important basis on which they can build their careers at the Bar.

This was an induction unlike any other. Attendees followed a series of clues to solve the mystery and in doing so they learnt about the Library and its services. See more.

The Library’s late night opening hours begin this week. We are open from 9.00am to 8.00pm Monday, Wednesday and Thursday and until 7.00pm on Friday. On Tuesday 10 September we will be closing at 4.00pm for a student event.
