The Law Library of the Library of Congress is the largest law library in the world.  This full-day field trip will introduce state, federal, and international materials available in the law collection and its online resources.  Participants will enjoy behind-the-scenes access to parts of the library not open to the general public and special exhibits prepared just for our visit.  Participants will learn how to teach students about tools often overlooked in many legal research classes.  We will also meet many of the staff attorneys who have built the collection of more than 2.78 million volumes and who can respond to research and reference requests. 

The buses will depart from the 24th Street entrance, Lobby Level, Marriott Wardman Park Hotel.
