Explore the Moritz Law Library's Legal Fiction Collection

The Moritz Law Library offers many resources to assist with your class and exam preparation, such as its study aid resources. But if you need a break or are looking for something interesting to read between semesters, consider exploring the Moritz Law Library’s legal fiction collection located in the Reserve Room on the main level. Some books are on the shelves straight ahead as you walk in, while others are located on the shelves to your immediate right. Older works of legal fiction are located elsewhere in the library and findable through the library catalog.

The library has novels about law schools and law students, including Testing Kate by Whitney Gaskell and Called On (2015) by Lisa McElroy, which has been described as “This generation’s One L” by The National Law Journal.  

There are also legal classics such as Anatomy of a Murder and To Kill a Mockingbird, and works of historical legal fiction such as The Secret Trial of Robert E. Lee and The Cliff House Strangler.

Feel free to ask a law librarian for a reading recommendation.
