Inside the Pritzker Library
 
 

Located along Lake Michigan in the heart of Chicago's Gold Coast, the Pritzker Legal Research Center spans three buildings blended into an architecturally harmonious whole. The most recently constructed, the Rubloff Building, is home to the Anglo-American collection and the Hodes Rare Book Room. International and foreign legal materials are in the Gary and Coon Libraries.

In addition to its research collection of Anglo-American, international, and selected foreign legal materials, the Pritzker Legal Research Center has many historically significant first editions of classic legal materials and the U.S. Supreme Court papers of Associate Justice Arthur J. Goldberg, a 1930 alumnus of the Northwestern University School of Law.
