PARALEGAL LIBRARY

The Paralegal Studies program at MUW offers an extensive legal library, which includes a large number of legal resource materials. The library maintains the Mississippi Code and legal resources, such as Corpus Juris Secundum and American Jurisprudence, in addition to the Mississippi Digest. It is also the repository of a large number of federal materials, such as the Federal Reporter, the Federal Supplement, Supreme Court Reports and the Code of Federal Regulations, and a wealth of treatises, journals, and periodicals on every legal topic imaginable. Seating is provided for small classes, as well as individual studies and two state-of-the-art computer terminals, with printer, which gives students access to web-based research tools.

The library has recently received donations of books and other materials from the United States District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi and the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.

The collection is housed in Fant Library, MUW's main campus library, which offers students additional research opportunities. The program also maintains a small satellite collection for instructional purposes in Painter 212.
