The Law Collections Appeal
The Law Collections Appeal is a fundraising initiative to support the Law Collections in the University of Glasgow Library.
The University currently has a well-resourced law library, housed within the main University library building. However, like all other modern libraries, it feels the pressure exerted by the recent exponential increase in both the volume and the cost of legal material published, in print and online.
Increasing investment in our Law Collections will ensure that current and future law students at Glasgow will have access to the best educational resources available. It will also ensure that the law library continues to underpin the future of legal education, scholarship and practice in Glasgow and the West of Scotland for many years to come.
How Your Donation Will Help
Every penny you donate to the Law Collections Appeal will be dedicated to improving the library's law collections. Your donations will be used solely to purchase new research texts and monographs across all areas of legal research and practice.
Since the appeal was launched, the generosity of our supporters has enabled us to purchase an impressive range of texts. Click here for the full list of Law Trust Fund Acquisitions 2010-2011

Tercentenary Scholarships Appeal
The Tercentenary Scholarships Appeal is intended to create three scholarships for students to pursue a PhD in the School.
2013-2014 is the 300th anniversary of the appointment of William Forbes as the first Regius Professor of Law. We hope to have three PhD scholarships in place by then, made up from small donations given regularly on the basis of 'mony a mickle maks a muckle'.
150 people giving £10 per month for 3 years amounts to £54,000 - a full scholarship that will enable a bright student to pursue a PhD, a qualification that is essential nowadays for someone seeking employment in a University.
Many overseas governments provide funding for doctoral scholarships but funding in the UK is exceptionally difficult meaning that our students find it extremely challenging to obtain support. These scholarships are essential to renew the younger generation of scholars who will continue the tradition of excellent teaching and researching law at Glasgow.
