To kick off the “Lucky to Be at GSU” series, the Law Library wants to highlight one of the most valuable resources in the building: research assistance.

Legal research can be time consuming and often incredibly frustrating. Whether you are searching for an on-point case, tracking down a specific statute, or trying to determine whether something is still good law, you do not have to figure it out alone.

The reference desk is staffed from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m.​​ on Fridays, and 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays with librarians and trained-student GRAs available to assist with research questions, source selection, or anything else you may need. If you are working outside of the staffed hours, help is still available. You can use the chat reference feature on the left side of the Law Library website, email questions to lawreference@gsu.edu, or call (404) 413-9102.

Sometimes a quick conversation can save you significant time on your research. Or maybe you just want to talk through a research strategy before you start.  Either way, having access to experienced research support is something we are truly lucky to have at GSU.
