The acceleration in adoption of online law libraries.

The COVID-19/Coronavirus pandemic has changed the world forever. This has also altered the way we see and interact with the world around us. We now do our daily activities in a very sterile manner. The normalization of putting on a facemask to regularly sanitizing our hands. This is a new world.

We have seen many law firms and law businesses dispose of tons of used law books, used law reports, used law journals, and even whole law libraries. Law firms have downsized their offices like many businesses as they have fully adopted remote working practices.

There has been a dramatic rise in subscription and access to online libraries. We have seen over 80% of law firms either obtaining a subscription or upgrading their existing subscription. The new standard is to use an online library rather than locating a law report or a law book to find a specific case or reference.

Where we come into the fold is that we offer a free collection service for your donation of used law books, used law reports, and even a whole law library. We will send your donation of used law books and/or donation of used law reports to international countries such as India, Nigeria, and many more.

These countries do not have the facilities nor stability of either their internet connection or their electric power supply. We are helping to bridge this issue with the supply of used law books and used law reports.

Since we started in December 2019 we have received over 1000 used law books and over 300 used law reports. We are happy to report that 100% of the used law books and 100% of the used law reports have been successfully donated. Lawyers in international countries rely on these donations of used law books and donations of used law reports for fighting their client’s cases as well as for educational purposes.

Over the past year, we have set up a network of volunteers who can collect the donations of used law books and used law reports on our behalf. We now have volunteers available in the following cities and towns:

• Aberdeen
• Bath
• Birmingham
• Bournemouth
• Bradford
• Brighton
• Cambridge
• Cardiff
• Edinburgh
• Halifax
• Leeds
• Liverpool
• London
• Manchester
• Newcastle
• Norwich
• Oxford
• Peterborough
• Sheffield
• Swansea
• York

We can collect from any location in the UK, however, the locations with our network volunteers allow us to have a quicker pickup.

Helping Solicitors, Lawyers, Barristers, Judges with Law Books and Law Reports.

Over the years in which our project of Donate Law Books has been active, we have been receiving a steady amount of law reports. However, this year due to the coronavirus pandemic, the donations have plummeted. We do really need your help with donations of law books, law journals, and law reports.

If we are unable to give law books/journals/reports this could potentially affect cases in 3rd world countries as they may not have access to all relevant reports and books.  Your donation can assist with these cases in third world countries.

The donations that we have passed on over the years have helped many Solicitors, Lawyers, Barristers, and Judges. Imagine an innocent person walking out of court as not guilty due to the legal materials you supply or a murderer found guilty due to the legal materials you supply. The power is in your hands.

The books you donate may make all the difference. To donate click the below link:

Where do you supply law books?

We supply books to Africa, Asia, Nigeria, Pakistan, India and where required the most.

Do you charge for supplying books?

This all depends on who is being supplied and the cost involved in mainly picking up and sending the books. When it comes down to the total cost of the books we are supplying it can cost as little as £1 per book. We at Donate Law Books believe that this is a fair strategy, as the books will be better looked after as well as helping us to be sustainable.
