The New York Law Institute serves the legal community by providing our members access to a comprehensive collection of legal materials both in print and electronically. Our collection is developed specifically to address the needs of practicing attorneys and other legal personnel at firms of all types, as well as government agencies, corporate legal departments, and non-profit organizations.


Our Collections

Print Collections

The NYLI print collection contains approximately 250,000 volumes of primary and secondary materials, covering all aspects of law and legal practice.

eBooks

We offer an extensive collection of eBooks in dozens of subject areas – everything from A-Z, from accounting to zoning.

New York Bill Jackets

The New York Law Institute is partnering with the New York Legislative Service, Inc. to offer access to New York State and New York City legislative histories at a discount price to our small firm members (50 attorneys or less firmwide).

Records and Briefs

Access to briefs can give an idea of how exactly a winning case was argued, while the record will often include documents that are not available anywhere else.

Microforms

A unique feature of the NYLI collection is the large number of specialized, rare and historical primary legal materials available on microfiche and microfilm.

Special Collections

The New York Law Institute has a robust collection of rare and varied works on legal topics dating back to 1558.
