Spring Semester Textbooks

Though we hate to talk about the spring semester before the fall semester has even ended, please note the following regarding spring textbook purchases:

Before purchasing any electronic textbooks for the spring semester, please first check with your professor's syllabus, course page (course pages will be updated throughout early January), or communications to ensure that an e-book is permitted for the course. Again, if you would like to order an e-book for your classes, please first confirm that your professor permits the use of a digital text in the class. Many professors will explicitly prohibit the use of an e-book, as some e-books cannot be accessed during open-book exams.

Specific textbook information for the spring semester is now available through the Book Marq, Marquette University's official bookstore.

Helpful Tips: 

• When entering your courses in the book store's search function, please select "Law Spring 2025" as the correct term. 
• You can locate your course and section numbers by signing in to CheckMarq and reviewing your spring 2025 course schedule.
• Please note your specific course section as textbooks for the same course will vary across sections. 
• If purchasing textbooks through vendors other than the Book Marq, please also pay close attention to the edition of the text required by your specific professor. The ISBN number should correlate with the correct edition.
• If you are renting a textbook through a vendor other than Book Marq, please ensure that the rental term lines up with the Law School's spring semester calendar so you can have your text available for studying and open-book exams. The Law School's academic calendar can be found here. 

All students are expected to have their textbooks in advance of the start of the semester so they can complete first-day reading assignments. If a textbook is sold out at the bookstore, please contact your professor to make alternative arrangements.
