“Our library services would be incomplete without our Social Law Library membership. Borrowing privileges allow us to fill in the gaps in our physical collection on a daily basis, nearly instantaneously. Our secure web portal for Massachusetts laws and regulations is incredibly useful and convenient, and the additional databases are often a great place to begin a research project. And I would be remiss if I did not mention the consistently high level of support we receive from the staff and the reference team.”
- Bridget Lonergan, Electronic and Technical Services Manager, Foley Hoag LLP and past President of the Association of Boston Law Librarians

“I have been a law librarian in the Boston Legal Community for over 20 years. During this time the Social Law Library has played an integral part in my successful delivery of information. Brian Harkins and the rest of the reference staff are incredible not only in their depth of knowledge but also in their willingness to go to great lengths to get you the most accurate and concise answers to sometimes extremely complicated issues. From circulation, to the copy center and member services the outstanding service is unparalleled!”
