Services for Visitors
The William A. Wise Law Library is an essential resource to the citizens of Colorado as one of only two (2) public law libraries in the state. We serve our faculty, staff, and students as well as alumni, members of the bench and bar, pro se litigants, and anyone else seeking legal information.
We offer many services for visitors, including expert research assistance, public access computers, Westlaw terminals, and document delivery. These services are described in more depth below.
If you are interested in visiting the Law Library, please see our hours and information on using the Law Library.
Research Assistance
Our team of research librarians is here to help all visitors to the Law Library navigate our collections and find the information they need. Whether you're looking for case law, statutes, or secondary materials, our librarians can help. While we are able to help you find resources to research your legal issue, we are unable to provide legal advice.
Please feel free to contact us Monday - Thursday 9am - 5pm, Friday 9am - 3pm.
