The Inner Temple Library has created subject guides on various legal topics that the Library specialises in.

The guides cover electronic resources to which the Library has access and include key textbooks, law reports, journals and free web sources.

The Library will supply scans, subject to the provisions of the law of copyright (the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 and the Copyright and Rights in Performances (Research, Education, Libraries and Archives) Regulations 2014), to barrister members of all four Inns.

Charges for the document supply service are being waived during the Coronavirus situation, but the relevant form (Judicial Proceedings or Private Research) must be completed.

Enquiries may be made by email: distanceservice@innertemple.org.uk
