Creating Justice for All
The Robert Crown Law Library and the Stanford Critical Law Society (SCritLS) invite you to celebrate and experience some of the incredible books in our collection that advocate for creating justice for all. The books listed on this site are only a sampling of the Stanford Libraries' collection. If you would like additional reading recommendations, please reach out to [email protected].
You are able to check out any book listed on this site! Loan periods and request processing time may vary depending on which campus library the book comes from. But regardless of whether a book is at Green, Law, or any of the other campus libraries, you can request the book through the form linked on this site and make an appointment to pick it up in front of the Crown building. Or, if you are unable to pick up material in person or would like to review a section of a publication for longer than the check out period, please request a scan of the section you are interested in. Keep in mind that scan requests are subject to copyright.
Who is the Stanford Critical Law Society (SCritLS)?
The Stanford Critical Law Society (SCritLS) is a community of Stanford students for whom social justice is an important component of their legal education. We seek to foster student discussion on the interaction between law and race, gender, class and sexual orientation among other topics. The mission of the organization is to create a safe space where students can address these topics and collectively engage in societal and institutional critique.
