Introduction
The legal profession is essentially a rule-based discipline where the written law is the primary source. A good law library, therefore, is the lifeline of a legal practitioner as well as his indispensable workshop. The Bar Council Library was set up to fulfil the research and information needs of the practitioner as required by statute under section 42 of the Legal Profession Act 1976.

The Malaysian Bar Library was established in 1979 and housed in the then Bar Council Secretariat at Wisma Central, Jalan Ampang, Kuala Lumpur.
In 1984, the library was moved to a separate location in the Federal Court Building, and in 1987 to the fifth floor of the Straits Trading Building. In 1997, due to the rapid growth of the Bar, the library was again relocated to larger premises on the ground floor of the Loke Yew Building.
When Bar Council purchased its own premises in 2003, the library was relocated to the fourth floor of the building at No 15 Leboh Pasar Besar, 50050 Kuala Lumpur where it remains till today.
Collection
A comprehensive collection in a library catering to the research and information needs of the legal practitioner should have a good collection of both the primary and secondary sources of law. Primary sources contain the actual law. Secondary sources which exclude cases statutes and regulations are materials, which comment, explain and annotate on the primary sources.
The past 15 years or so have seen a gradual increase in the number of law reports and textbooks and the updating of existing law reports and local legislation. The library has a policy of purchasing all local legal practitioner textbooks and law reports and selected foreign textbooks. The library does not acquire strictly academic materials, law school textbooks and foreign legislation, which are now freely available online.
The library strives to provide at least one essential current resource for each practice area but collection development in certain practice areas is subject to change due to budgetary constraints, escalating costs, usage and ongoing collection reassessments.
Damage to copies of law reports is a frequent occurrence in a practitioners' library due to constant photocopying of cases for submission to court. These copies have to be constantly replaced. However, good replacement copies, especially from the Indian jurisdiction, are very difficult to come by and often the library is forced to return the replacement copies because of poor quality.
Please click on the links below to view the list of books acquired by the Library from:
(1) 1 January 2020 to 30 September 2020 (latest acquisition); and
(2) 1 January 2011 to 30 September 2020.
Primary sources
Legislation
The Federal and State Legislation are continuously being updated as amendments are made by the Malaysian Parliament and the respective State Legislative Assemblies. Apart from the current Federal and State Laws, the collection also includes older laws such as Laws of the Federated Malay States, Laws of the Straits Settlements, Laws of Johore, Laws of the State of Kedah, etc, which were donated to the library in 2002 by the late Philip Hoalim Junior and Miki Goh Wembley Alexandra Saw Beng (husband and wife) who practised in Penang under Syarikat Goh Guan Ho.
The index database on Malaysian legislation is constantly updated with annotations as regards dates of coming into force of Acts, amending Acts, state enactments and subsidiary legislation, authoritative text of Acts (whether National Language or English), repeal/revocation of legislation, etc.
Current Federal Legislation can be accessed and downloaded for free from the E-Federal Gazette portal on the Attorney General’s Chambers website, which started gazetting subsidiary legislation, namely the PU(A) and PU(B), on 26 Apr 2011 and legislation passed by Parliament since March 2011 from 2 June 2011.

Staffing
The library is staffed by a librarian possessing legal and library and information science qualifications, two experienced assistant librarians, and three trained library assistants.
(1) Librarian
The librarian has more than 40 years of working experience, 30 years of which were in several government ministries with legal departments culminating with her appointment as Director of Resource and Documentation in the Judicial and Legal Training Institute ("ILKAP"). After her retirement from government service, she has been conducting courses in ILKAP on legal research skills for participants from government and semi-government agencies between 1998 and 2000. She has been with the Bar Council Library for the past 15 years.
(2) Assistant Librarians and Library Assistants
The two assistant librarians and three library assistants have between 6 and 19 years' experience working in a law library. The library staff members are always willing to help library users to locate material in the library and to use the catalogue to trace and retrieve specific material, as well as attend to inquiries via telephone and email. Help is also provided on how to conduct searches on online databases.
Legal Research Skills Training
A primary element in achieving success and growth in the legal profession is the mastering of legal research. However, there seems to be not much emphasis on legal research skills as an essential component in law studies. Students appear to be trained to pass bar examinations and not to research and think like legal professionals. Moreover research training focuses more on online research and "Googling" where the end result is quantity and not quality. Training in the effective use of print legal research material and proficient use of indexes, citators, digests, etc, with their useful information in cases, legislation, words and phrases judicially considered is completely lacking these days.
Taking this into consideration, several seminars and talks on legal research skills were conducted by the librarian in Bar Council, and at the invitation of some State Bar Committees and law firms in 2005, 2009 and 2013. These seminars focused on exposing participants to print as well as digital databases for researching the law, and the existence of free online databases with neutral citations and new local law reports. In addition, the seminars also gave a brief overview of the historical development of the legal system in the country, and how laws are published, come into force and are amended.
Conclusion
Given the immense explosion in legal publications and the media, it is well-nigh impossible economically for any library to be completely comprehensive in its holdings. However, with the judicious use of information sharing avenues open to law librarians, the Bar Council Library staff members have been able, to a large extent, to satisfy the information requests from Members of the Bar.
