January 19 is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day - Law Library Hours and Display

Monday, January 19 is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, a state and federal holiday.  The McKusick Law Library will be closed to the public and circulation and reference services will not be available.  (Law students will continue to have 24/7 access using their University ID cards.)

In commemoration of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, the Law Library is currently featuring a display which highlights Law Library resources that discuss the life, work, and legacy of Martin Luther King, Jr.  Several law review articles (available via the Library's subscription to HeinOnline) that discuss Dr. King's legacy on civil rights, justice, and the American legal system are included, as well as the following print titles:
