KUSOL Law Library

The School of Law has its own small law library with approximately ten thousand law books and references. It also has a good collection of books on management, economics and other subjects to meet interdisciplinary needs of the School. 

Apart from this, the law library has free online access to important resources necessary for our faculty and students. The library contains print, computer assisted legal research, and collections of laws in force, superseded laws, foreign and international law, and other research resources, e.g. continuing legal education resources and legal encyclopedias, legal treatises, and legal history. 

The law students have access to the Central Library of Kathmandu University at Budol, Dhulikhel, and Libraries of other Schools.

The Office of the Dean requires the library's collection to meet the academic needs of the students and research and teaching needs of the faculty.

The law library provides wireless Internet access for law school students and faculty. All others may use the public access computers which provide Internet access but do not provide printing capabilities. Most of our study carrels are wired for Internet access.

Kathmandu University Law Library is going to be a selective legal depository of Nepal government. Our in-house collection includes documents published by the judiciary, the Ministry of Law and Justice, Nepal Law Commission, as well as many others. Our online catalog also lists many government documents available over the Internet. Our web site links suggest the best sites to find government information available online for state, international, and foreign levels of government.

Admission & Circulation

The Law Library is open to Kathmandu University law students, faculty and staff. University students needing access to legal materials may use the collection, but do not have access to group study rooms, hard-wired carrels, or computers and printers. KUSOL ID must be shown upon entry. You must have a valid KUSOL ID card or Membership Card to borrow materials. Most Law Library materials do not circulate. Since law libraries are primarily reference collections, only a small percentage of the collection can be checked out. Circulating materials are generally loaned for two weeks, and may be renewed twice if no other patron has requested the material and they are not overdue. Overdue charges apply; please ask at the Circulation Desk for details.
