About the Law Library:

The Law School at the University of Washington was founded in 1861, and has moved several times before arriving at the William H. Gates Hall, where it is currently located along with the Gallagher Law Library. The Library's main purpose is to support the law program at UW, but is also open to other students, faculty, and staff from the university, as well as the general public.

For more information concerning the Japanese or East Asian collection, please contact Rob Britt at (206) 543-7447 or by email.
