Mike VanderHeijden, Professor and Director

The University of Dayton School of Law’s Zimmerman Law Library in Joseph E. Keller Hall provides access to more than 295,000 printed and digital materials, microfilms, and legal databases on Anglo-American, foreign, comparative, and international law. An extensive variety of print and digital bar exam preparation materials and academic support resources are available to law school students. The library’s open-stack arrangement permits easy access to all materials. UD students, faculty, and staff with legal research questions may schedule time to meet with a librarian. Details are available on the Law Library webpage.

The Zimmerman Law Library provides 375 seats for study and research; an abundance of electrical outlets; and several computers with Internet access for public use. Group study rooms are available to current School of Law students, faculty, and staff, and wireless access is available to anyone with a UD login and password. The Zimmerman Law Library is generally open to UD students and faculty, the Dayton legal community, and the public; however, hours and access may be more limited than for School of Law students, faculty, and staff. Current hours and access policies are posted on the Law Library webpage.
