You can find all the Inner Temple Library’s news here, updated regularly so you never miss out on the latest developments
This issue includes details of summer opening hours; an introduction to our newest member of staff; an announcement about our latest training-related initiative (tours for clerks); features on binding procedures and on new acquisitions; and news of the longlisted entries for the Inner Temple Book Prize.
A list of New Titles and New Editions received by the Library between April and June 2022 has just been published.
The Inner Temple Library is offering the following legal research training for new Pupils:
A one-hour session that will cover some of the basics of legal research as well as a few more advanced topics. This will take place on Wednesday 6 July at 6pm and will be via Zoom. This session is based around the results of a survey of new practitioners carried out in 2019. This identified the specific research difficulties new barristers have such as ensuring comprehensiveness, relevancy, currency and finding a starting point. This session aims to make all these issues easier to deal with. To book please email tdennis@innertemple.org.uk.

There is also news about upcoming tours and legal research opportunities for practitioners, students and clerks, and new developments regarding online database subscriptions; also reports on a visit to the Supreme Court and its library, and on new acquisitions.
