As the largest and oldest law library in the state of Kansas, the Wheat Law Library is an integral part of the University of Kansas School of Law. As such it serves the law school and university community in legal and interdisciplinary scholarly pursuits and provides attorneys, judges, and the general public access to legal information.

Key components of this mission include collecting and preserving Kansas, national, and international legal documents; teaching legal information literacy; and serving as a legal information gateway by providing access to sources beyond the scope of the physical collection.

The Wheat Law Library is a research facility, and its materials are the indispensable tools of the legal profession. Many are of a reference nature and do not circulate. Any person desiring to use law books and other legal materials may do so in the law library.
