The John Marshall Law School/National Anti-Vivisection Society Research Library for Animal Advocacy (“NAVS Collection”)
Since 1996, the Louis L. Biro Law Library of the John Marshall Law School has served as the repository of an important and unique collection on animal rights and animal law. On October 19, 1995, the John Marshall Law School and the National Anti-Vivisection Society (“NAVS”) entered into an Agreement for the creation of the National Research Library for Animal Advocacy. In collaboration with NAVS, the Library maintains this special collection. These materials are located on the 6th floor of the Library. At present, there are over 190 titles in the NAVS collection. Click here to see a listing of these titles. The collection serves not only patrons at The John Marshall Law School but members of NAVS and researchers nationwide. Please contact NAVS for permission to use this collection if you are not a current student, staff or faculty member of JMLS, alum of JMLS or current CBA member.
