USE OF THE LIBRARY

The Association's Library is primarily for barristers who hold a current NSW practicing certificate and other members of the Bar Association.

Solicitor members should, in the first instance, seek assistance from the Law Society Library. If the Law Society cannot assist, then the member or the firm's library may request the item from the Bar Library. If a solicitor member of the Bar Association wishes to use the library, they are welcome to visit the Library and undertake their own research.

Interstate practitioner members should, in the first instance, employ the resources in their home jurisdiction. If they cannot assist, then the member may request the item from the Bar Library. Interstate practitioners are welcome to visit the library and undertake their own research.

The Library’s lending and research services are not available to persons who might reasonably be expected to have access to similar services in their home jurisdiction, institution or firm.

For further information, see Library Rules
