Rhodes University Law Library
Alastair Kerr Law Library
The Law Library, known as the Alastair Kerr Law Library, is named after a former Head of Department at the Law Faculty. It is mainly a reference library, and most items may not be removed from the library by undergraduates. Resources include law reports, legislation and other government publications, reference works, books and journals. The library has five photocopiers. Note that money can only be loaded onto student cards at the Main Library and at the Student Bureau.
The PPS Wing is an extension to the library that was added in 1999. This is mainly a study area, which includes three group study rooms. Primary sources like law reports, reference works and dictionaries are shelved here.
The Law Library has desk space for 88 students and has a computer lab with 30 computers and two printers.
The Law Subject Guide is designed to help you find and use legal resources available to you in or via the Rhodes Law Library.
