Abstract

Decolonisation remains as a topical debate in academic libraries. Goldsmiths, University of London Library, led a decolonisation initiative which inspired many other academic libraries to engage in social justice. Here IALS librarian Marilyn Clarke, who was previously Director of Library Services at Goldsmiths, examines what's happening in law libraries when it comes to this matter, and asks whether legal knowledge and the law school can be decolonised.
