Gifts & Funds Supporting the Law Library's Collections
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 are in the process of adding 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.

William T. Burke
Professor Emeritus William T. Burke joined the Law School's faculty in 1968, after teaching at the Yale Law School and the Ohio State University College of Law for twelve years. A noted teacher and scholar in the area of law and marine affairs, Professor Burke also served as a member of many governmental, educational, professional, and international organizations concerned with the use and regulation of the world's oceans. His publications include The Public Order of the Oceans (coauthored with Myres S. McDougal), published in 1962 and revised in 1987, and The New International Law of Fisheries (1994; translated into Japanese, 1996).
Upon his retirement, Professor Burke donated to the Law Library many books from his personal collection, including many monographs and government reports.
