    Default Looking for Law Books

    Hello,
    My name is Carter Rowe. I'm 14 years old, and currently working as a clerk for a small law firm practicing in family law. I am extremely interested in law, and I'm looking to start a bookshelf that I wish to fill with law books. I don't make much money, but I was hoping that there might be some attorneys out there that are trying to get rid of their paper back books, and would consider donating them to me. If anyone is interested, I can pay for shipping, but I do not have the money to buy a bunch of those books. I have heavy aspirations of becoming an attorney and this would help. Please let me know. I'm currently located in Pennsylvania.

    Thank you!
    v/r

    Hi Carter,

    Somewhere in your community there is probably a public law library. Public law libraries don't stand out, so you may have to search for them. I suspect that if you contact them and ask for any old, worn or damaged law books they intend to throw out, you might be able to stock a very impressive looking book shelf. (The more worn the book is, the more studious and hard working it makes you appear.)

    Best of luck,

    L-1

    Try a law library. Plenty of lawbooks that you can read for free.

    Do you want to use them or are you just using them for decoration?

    If you want legal text books, ask around the attorneys in your practice if they have any they'd donate to your cause.
    Most of the records of legal cases (federal supplements, cjs, etc...) are better done on-line these days rather than slogging through the published books. These older ones you can usually find being thrown out by anybody who had a decent legal library in the day. They'er commonly used for decoration in furniture stores.
    I spent my entire childhood with a Martindale-Hubble volume holding up the end of the sofa that had a broken leg.

    Great,
    Thanks! I will look into it!

    Hi,
    Thank you for the advice. I agree that a lot of things are now done online, but in reality, there is nothing like flipping through pages in a real book!

    Have a great day!

    Carter
