Congratulations UW Law School Grads!

On June 3rd new law school graduates attended a swearing in ceremony welcoming them to the profession. We would like to extend our own welcome and congratulations. Now that you are members of the State Bar of Wisconsin, you are eligible for a free Wisconsin State Law Library card.

The Wisconsin State Law Library serves the courts, attorneys, and members of the public and works to meet your legal information needs. Did you know that you can use your free library card to:

• Access subscription databases such as HeinOnline or law journal indexes from your office or home
• Request items using interlibrary loan
• Borrow library materials at one of the libraries or by mail. Our Start Here guides can give you a quick glance at some of our specialized topical titles

Whether you are starting your career in a large firm or hanging out your own shingle, the Wisconsin State Law Library can help you with your legal research. For those new attorneys still exploring job opportunities, the library also has a professional development section with titles focused on expanding your career.

Getting a library card is easy. Simply fill out our online form and your card will be mailed to you along with library information to get you started.
