Located in the new Wolf Law Building, The William A. Wise Law Library at the University of Colorado Law School in Boulder is the most comprehensive and technologically sophisticated law library in the 12-state Rocky Mountain region. At 59,000 square feet, it is one of the largest law libraries in the country and has nationally recognized collections in the areas of American Indian Law, Constitutional Law and Jurisprudence, and Natural Resources and Environmental Law. Most of the law school's class composite photos, beginning with the Class of 1898, are now hung in the library. These photos give visitors a visual sense of how law school demographics (and hair styles!) changed throughout the 20th century.
The LEED certified Wolf Law Building offers stunning, close-up views of the Front Range of the Colorado Rockies from many windows, and is designed to bring natural light into the core of the building using skylights and interior windows. The building features Internet-based video recording stations, digital information kiosks, and state-of-the-art classrooms with video conferencing capabilities and comprehensive audio-visual systems. With its two high-tech courtrooms, Wolf Law is the setting for actual sessions of state, federal, and tribal appellate courts. Boulder's world-famous Pearl Street, known for its unique shops, restaurants and street performers, is only a short bus ride or walk past the grand Tuscan architecture of the CU campus.
