The UVU Library stays on the right side of the law

The US Constitution was adopted September 17, 1787

It's Constitution Week. With UVU's Constitution Conference, we decided to take a closer look at the legal resources we have on offer here at the Library. Our legal resources not only support legal research for papers and speeches, but also support UVU's paralegal program.

Law Collection

Located on the third floor, our legal collection includes standard works like the Pacific Reporter, Corpus Juris Secundum, and American Jurisprudence. Law books cannot leave the Library, but we have photocopiers on each floor and scanners on the first floor so that you can make copies.

Legal Collection

Created by EBSCOHost, this database offers the latest in law review articles and news. It's a terrific resource for finding out about the current state of legal debates in the United States.

LexisNexis Academic Universe

While LexisNexis Academic Universe does offer some review articles and legal news, it's best used to look up state and federal laws and court cases from the district and Supreme Courts. LexisNexis has a tricky interface, but we're happy to help you navigate your way through it.

As always, you can ask us questions at the Reference Desk. Most of the time, we can answer any research related questions. When it comes to law questions, we are not able to interpret law or give legal advice. If you do have questions about your own legal situation, we can point you towards free state resources.
