"Jewels of the Collection: Treasures of the Riesenfeld Rare Books Research Center," showcases the depth of the Law Library's special collections. The Arthur C. Pulling Rare Books Collection, housed in the Riesenfeld Rare Books Research Center, comprises more than 35,000 volumes printed across six continents between the fifteenth century and today. The current exhibit features selected treasures from the Pulling Collection, as well as the Law School archives, and the Library's signature Clarence Darrow Collection, which contains more than 1,000 letters to and from the great American defense attorney.

Section introductions and descriptions in the exhibit place the works in their historical contexts and indicate their enduring value. The items reflect a historical legal legacy that is both national and global in its scope. We invite visitors to browse the exhibit and learn more about the richness of the Law Library’s collections.
