Welcome to the Inner Temple Library

The Inner Temple is one of the four Inns of Court. The other Inns are Middle Temple, Gray's Inn and Lincoln's Inn. These are unincorporated associations which have existed since the 14th Century. They play a central role in the recruitment, training and professional life of barristers, holding the exclusive rights to call candidates to the bar of England and Wales.

The library provides the following services for Inner Temple members - barristers, judges and students - and for barrister members of the other Inns of Court:

  A reference library of over 70,000 volumes of English law
  Specialist Scottish & Commonwealth collections
  An enquiry service for telephone & personal callers with legal and parliamentary enquiries
  Internet, Online and CD-Rom databases
  Internet access to the library catalogues of the four Inns
  A document supply service for Inner Temple barristers outside central London
