Library of Congress
Classification Outline
The Law Library uses the Library of Congress Classification System (LC) to organize many of its materials. In general, the LC system organizes material according to 21 branches of knowledge. The 21 categories (labeled A-Z except I,O,W,X and Y) are further subdivided by adding one or two additional letters and a set of numbers. As a law library, the bulk of our collection falls into the K classification. The following outline shows the major categories with an expansion of the K class.
