Additional information: Call number location list applies to the books in the Law Library's open stacks. Books in closed stacks include: Reserve, Rare Books, Archives, Storage (NRLF), and Superceded volumes. For access to books in closed stacks, inquire at the Circulation Desk. In open stacks, the Law Library uses the classification system of the Library of Congress. The system arranges books by topical call numbers.
How call numbers work: The first letter of a call number is a general topic (for example, "K" is the letter used for the topic: "Law"). Next, additional letters indicate jurisdiction (for example, "KF" is law of the U.S.; "KFC" is the law of California). The second line of number stands for a specific topic (for example, "KF 1250" is U.S. torts law). The last line, usually a combination of letters and numbers, arranges books alphabetically by author ("KF 1250" - "P76" is Prosser on Torts). Note: Lines beginning with letters are decimals (e.g., P76 is shelved before P8). Note also: Not all books on a topic are together (e.g., medical torts may be in KF and R).
