Collection Development

FIU Law Library is committed to providing resources necessary to support our student’s legal education needs, while also providing robust research library for faculty and scholars. We collect materials in keeping with the international focus of the College’s educational mission; this includes robust reciprocal sharing activities with world-wide libraries and legal institutions.

Florida International University (FIU) is a state-supported university in Miami, Florida. The FIU College of Law was accredited by the American Bar Association in December, 2006 and attained membership in the Association of American Law Schools in January 2009. To this end, the library looked to ABA and AALS standards when first developing its policies and collection, and already has exceeded these standards. The library seeks to continuously provide a high level of service to support the instructional and research needs of the FIU students and faculty, and strives to achieve a national reputation for excellence.

The library collection policy takes particular recognition of the College of Law’s mission. The library’s collection supports the educational objectives of a diverse population, with a particular focus on a curriculum that integrates comparative, international and foreign legal studies.
