Birmingham Law Society Library

The relocation and cataloguing of current library stock to Aston University Library is nearing completion.

The complete Aston University library will be accessible to members of the Society from early September 2008 and before then membership cards will be issued to all Society member firms with briefing notes on the procedures to be followed for access and borrowing of certain of the library contents.

Historical records are accessible at Birmingham Law Society as reference only.

If you are in possession of any books from the law library, please return them as soon as possible to the Birmingham Law Society offices at 8 Temple Street. We regret that no renewals are possible.

Search is on for legal high fliers
Since 2002, the Birmingham Law Society Legal Awards has recognised and rewarded the strength and depth of talent within the West Midlands’ thriving legal sector – and this year is no different!
