We offer two ways of searching our catalog: a law library only catalog and OCLC WorldCat. Other catalogs are also available. More
Expand your legal research options with online sources provided by the Gallagher Law Library. More
How do I search for laws on a particular subject? How can I compile a legislative history for a Washington (or federal) law? How can I locate court opinions about a topic? To answer these and other frequently asked questions, the reference librarians have prepared a series of legal research guides. Use these guides to get started on your research project when a reference librarian is not available to assist you or as a reminder as you conduct your research. More
Here, you will find a list of websites that provide legal information and materials (including laws, bills, court opinions, and related documents) and/or links to legal material. Most of these sites are freely available to all users with Internet access. Some sites are UW Restricted, that is, available to University of Washington faculty, students, and staff and visitors to UW Libraries.More
The Marian Gould Gallagher Law Library is the largest legal collection north of San Francisco and west of Iowa. Over the years our ability to maintain the size and scope of our collections has been challenged by extremely high inflation and by the publication of many new legal works.
The entire Law School community has benefited from the generosity of many donors. Some have established and contributed to funds for the purchase of library materials. In other cases, donors have contributed books from their personal collections.
For many years, the Law Library has placed a gift book plate in all books purchased with gift funds. To give the gift funds even more exposure, we have add information to our catalog records for books that have been purchased with gift funds. Thus, when the library user links to books purchased with these gift funds by using our public catalog, a note about the gift fund will appear. So even if the library user never looks at the book itself, the gift fund used to purchase the book will be noted.

Donors may designate gifts for the Gallagher Fund, for general use, and/or in memory of or to honor a particular person. Substantial gifts may enroll the donor in the Marian Gould Gallagher Society.
We are happy to accept your contributions to the Law Library online.
