Bristol Law Society offers a self-service library facility in centrally located premises next door to the Crown Court. BLS members can also apply for access to the University of Bristol Library in the Wills Memorial Building by emailing Library Membership Services on lib-access@bristol.ac.uk. Please note that you must apply in advance and will not be granted access if you have not registered with the Library Membership Services first. BLS members are also able to contact the national Law Society library with reference enquiries and for document delivery services. For information see their website www.lawsociety.org.uk
The library offers over 10,000 textbooks, law reports, periodicals and journals and is available to members of Bristol Law Society for research, quiet study, and the loan of textbooks and journals. Members can also now use the library’s wi-fi facility. It has disabled access.
The library is also used as a venue for some of BLS’s courses and other functions and can be made available as a meeting place for legal practitioners.
Normal opening hours are Mondays from 10am until 5.30pm and Tuesdays to Fridays 9am to 5:30 pm although occasionally the library closes early for meetings or courses. Please call 0117 976 3087 or email the BLS office on info@bristollawsociety.com to check. Only BLS members will be permitted access to the library and it is not open to members of the public.
