Opening Hours

From Monday 23 March the Library is closed to visitors until further notice.

Saturday opening of all four Inn Libraries has been suspended with immediate effect.

Lexis®PSL

We are now subscribing to the Lexis®PSL service, which we have been trialling for some time. This provides practice notes, forms, precedents, commentary and current awareness for 35 practice areas. These include Arbitration, Banking & Finance, Commercial, Competition, Construction, Corporate, Corporate Crime, Dispute Resolution, Employment, Energy, Environment, Family, Financial Services, Immigration, In-House, Information Law, Insurance & Reinsurance, Intellectual Property & Information Technology, Life Sciences, Local Government, Pensions, Personal Injury, Planning, Practice Compliance, Practice Management, Private Client, Property, Property Disputes, Public Law, Restructuring & Insolvency, Risk and Compliance, Share Incentives, Tax, TMT, and Wills and Probate.

The service is available within the Library and we also have a limited number of log-ins which will allow us to make the service available by remote access to Inner Temple members who are practising barristers. Priority will be given to barristers outside London who are unable to visit the Library in person.

Please email LexisPSL@innertemple.org.uk if you are interested in accessing this service remotely.

International Women’s Day

For International Women’s Day this year, we took a look at women who have killed in response to domestic abuse and their experience in the criminal justice system. On the other side of the bench: https://www.innertemplelibrary.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/on-the-other-side-of-the-bench.pdf
