National Equal Justice Library

       (4) NEJL Domestic Book and Article Collection

In addition to its Archives of unpublished U.S. materials and its International Collection from other countries, the NEJL also is assembling a comprehensive collection of publications about equal justice issues in the United States. This is especially important since many of the books and studies of most interest to scholars were not published by regular trade or university presses, but in limited printings for narrow purposes or specific audiences. Examples include bar association reports, state and local legal needs studies, legislative studies, and the like.

While the NEJL has purchased a few of these publications, one of the unexpected by-products of the on-going campaign to collect unpublished materials for the NEJL Archives has been the Library’s acquisition of literally hundreds of books and other publications that institutions and individuals have donated along with their papers. At this point the NEJL has received over 1000 volumes of domestic publications, and those materials continue to arrive.
