Finding your way around the Law Bod.
You are always very welcome to ask librarians for directions once you are here - we are larger than we look, with an open shelf collection spreading over 4 floors.

The Law In England & Wales
Halsbury's Laws  at KZ 1 is the authoritative encyclopaedia of law in England and Wales. Volumes which may be relevant are:

The main subject volumes will give you a concise overview of the law, while the footnotes will direct you to the most important cases, legislation and commentary in that area. The print volumes are at  KZ 1 on Floor 2. Use the Cumulative Supplement to check for any new developments in the law since the volume was printed. (OU members can access Halsbury's Laws electronically via LexisLibrary.)

Monographs

There is no one area of the library which covers specifically LGBT law, but there are small collections in the following locations:

The KM & KN collections include our collections of current English and Welsh law. Shelved after the E&W treatment of a topic come the Australian, Canadian, Irish, New Zealand, Northern Irish, Scottish, and USA monographs addressing the same issue. These are distinguished by an extra cutter number in their shelf marks - respectively A8, C1, I5, N4, N8, S3,  and U4.

For example: Flagrant Conduct : The Story of Lawrence v. Texas : How a Bedroom Arrest Decriminalized Gay Americans is shelved at KM544.2.U4.CAR 2013
