Monographs are scholarly books on a narrow topic. Written by legal scholars and other experts, coverage may be more narrow than major treatises.

If the Law Library’s copies of these titles are checked out, additional copies may be available to borrow from other campus libraries or OhioLINK. The Law Library’s Interlibrary Loan service is another option for books not available at CWRU or via OhioLINK.
