New York Law Institute, Legal library in Manhattan, US

The New York Law Institute provides access to over 250,000 cataloged books and electronic resources for legal research in a dedicated space at 120 Broadway.

Founded in 1828 by two lawyers seeking to disrupt the legal business monopoly, the institute survived a destructive fire in 1854 that damaged furniture but spared books.

The library stands as a cornerstone of legal education in New York City, offering specialized collections and reference services to members and legal scholars.

Members can request document deliveries to their offices, access electronic databases remotely, and receive assistance from reference librarians for research inquiries.

The collection includes the first book donated by Chancellor James Kent, marking the beginning of what became the oldest circulating law library in New York City.
