Thormodsgard Law Library

The School of Law Library is the primary resource at UND to access legal information. We provide research, instruction, and reference services related to the law, primarily for School of Law students, faculty, and staff. We also serve the larger UND community, members of the bench and bar, and members of the general public. 

For ethical reasons related to the legal profession, School of Law Librarians are unable to conduct legal research or interpret the results of that research on behalf of patrons. Instead, law librarians assist patrons in matters such as:

  • Understanding how legal resources are organized
  • Using legal research tools
  • Accessing legal information
