​The Royal Faculty of Procurators has maintained a library since 1817 which has been housed at the Royal Faculty building at 12 Nelson Mandela Place in the centre of Glasgow since 1857. The library is central to the function of the Royal Faculty of Procurators and provides access, for Members, to a first class collection of resources including legal texts, legislation, case reports, CD-ROMs and online services. Membership of the Royal Faculty therefore provides access to resources out with the budget of a small firm and can represent a significant saving to a larger firm's budget.

​

Members of the Royal Faculty of Procurators in Glasgow are entitled to use the largest law library in the West of Scotland for research, quiet study, for the loan of textbooks, law reports and journals and as a meeting place for legal practitioners.

 

The library is maintained by Members' subscriptions and as such is not open to the general public.

​

There is also a small branch library at the Glasgow Sheriff Court. This is primarily intended as a last minute reference resource for Members who are court practitioners. To this end there are two computers with broadband Internet access, Session Cases, Scots Law Times, SCCRs and SCLRs, Current Law Statutes and Current Law Year Books and a number of core textbooks and loose-leafs.

​

The Sheriff Court library is open all day when the courts are sitting and entry is by swipe card. Please inform Library staff if you require entry to the Information Suite to enable your swipe card to be activated.
