Why do our campus tours always end in the library? If you’ve visited campus, you know.

The spacious and open Lucille Stewart Beeson Law Library is a grand facility, created for serious study, deliberation and great ideas.

At a time when other institutions struggle to keep students on campus or keep their resources in step with student needs, Samford University’s Cumberland School of Law is able to provide a library of significance, a place sought out by students seeking academic excellence, collegial comfort and a third place for thinking and study.
