Photocopies (subject to copyright) can be sent by scan/email or post via our document supply service, available to barrister members of all four Inns and to student members of the Inner Temple who are enrolled on a Bar course.
Keeping Current
Our Current Awareness blog is intended to provide up-to-date information on new case law, changes in legislation, and legal news, which we hope will be of interest to lawyers practising in the UK. Coverage is restricted to England and Wales. The content is selected and updated daily by information professionals on the staff of the Inner Temple Library.
