The Law Library is open to the public 8 a.m.-8 p.m. (MT) Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m.-6 p.m. (MT) on Fridays. We are happy to assist members of the public and attorneys during those hours via chat, email, or in person by appointment. Walk-ins are also welcome during opening hours to use print materials.

Access Our Legal Research Collection

Attorneys and the public can access our print collection during opening hours. Bring your laptop or tablet with you to access a wide selection of online research resources.The Law Library will also email journal articles and other documents to you from our print and digital collections upon request. Members of the New Mexico Bar and Tribal Bars who visit the Library in person can borrow circulating materials at no charge with their bar card. The Library will also borrow materials from other libraries for members of the New Mexico or Tribal Bars. No fee is charged for this service by the Law Library, but any charges assessed by the lending library will be passed along to the attorney.
