Members of academic staff of any university are admitted for the current academic year.
Postgraduate research students of any university are admitted for the current academic year:
Non-University researchers with legal training are admitted on payment of a fee.
Postgraduate taught-course students, except those registered at the University of London, are not admitted.
Undergraduates are not normally admitted.
Limited temporary admission is permitted for University of London undergraduates on recommendation by letter from their tutor or law librarian. The letter should state that the student needs access to consult specialist materials in a particular area of foreign or international law that are not available at their college library. It is not necessary to list the specific items to be consulted. IALS reserves the right to re-direct the student to another, more appropriate library for their needs.
