Anglo-American Law

Anglo-American Law

The United States was founded on the principles of English common law. The Thurgood Marshall State Law Library reflects this tradition. Since the Library first opened its doors in December 1827, the Library has maintained a core collection of English primary and secondary sources. Although current acquisitions in this area appear primarily online and on microfilm, the Library continues to preserve old nominative reports, Statutes of the Realm, and many historical legal reporters.
