Hi, can we please have a thread with links to law books? Core law textbooks as well as other miscellaneous legal books would be useful. If you know of links like this, please add them here! Books that are not already available on libgen would be particularly appreciated!

To the naysayers - In most cases it's the publishing houses making the money, not the authors - let's be realistic about the resources of broke college kids
the issue with such links is that once it is publicly available, the publishers crack down on it. Have an anon link to upload docs for this
Ask your college librarians - there is a copyright exception for educational purposes which good librarians will use cleverly.
All I'm saying is If you download your law books from z library, libgen or archive you're committing the act of piracy

And yes the z lib bastards are back on the surface web.

That's all I'm saying
As if Indian law authorities would enforce piracy laws against random broke students.
If law colleges actually made provisions to provide these resources to their students, they wouldn't need to do this. Imagine having to ask for your own course books. If an institution doesn't have the resources to buy these books, they shdnt be getting the license to oprrate
People, yes. Institutions who are feeding on students' money but unwilling to invest in resources, no.
agree. the institutions must charge higher and just pass on the costs.
They may have those books in the library. That does not mean every student will get the opportunity to have constant and regular access to those throughout the semester. If you want to have personal access to such books throughout the year, then either you will have to buy or photocopy those, or else try to convince the library to invest in ebooks, which can be accessed by all the students from the library website simultaneously.
the irony of downloading books on copyright law through these websites
It's your knowledge that seems to be suspect. Ever heard of the judgement given in the DU Copyright Case?
The problem with armchair experts is that they often tend to make unwarranted remarks to compensate for their lack of a deeper understanding of the laws. Sharing the Wikipedia link knowing fully well you won't care to read the judgment.
