Particular areas of specialisation are Chancery practice, Commonwealth legislation and law reports, materials on the Channel Islands and Isle of Man, and Parliamentary materials. Photocopying, internet, printing and word-processing facilities are available in the Library. The Library also operates a distance service for barristers.
