How Adopt-a-Treatise Works

Legal treatises form the core of the King County Law Library’s research collection.  Unfortunately, over the years, we’ve had to discontinue purchasing many valued titles because we just can’t manage the cost with our limited budget.

With our new Adopt-a-Treatise program, the law library is engaging with our supporters to rebuild and fortify our collection.  We’ve developed a “wish list” of materials that we are committed to maintaining in the collection, but need assistance doing so because of budget pressures.  As an Adopt-a-Treatise supporter, you will be directly furthering the law library’s mission of making high-quality, curated legal information free and accessible.

When you adopt a treatise you will be recognized with a physical bookplate in the treatise itself and a digital bookplate in our library catalog.  You can elect to adopt a treatise in your own name or in recognition of someone else. Adopting a treatise in someone’s honor is a wonderful gesture to commemorate service to the legal profession.

A sample bookplate is shown above.  Click on the image to see a larger view.
