Bar Council Library

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.

 
42. Object and powers of the Bar

(1)  The purpose of the Malaysian Bar shall be --

(f)  to establish libraries and to acquire or rent premises to house the libraries and offices of the Malaysian Bar or amenities for the use of members

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.

Law Reports

The library has over 40 law report titles dating from the 18th century to the present from the following foreign jurisdictions:
  • Australia;
  • Canada;
  • England;
  • India;

Secondary sources

Annotated Statutes

Annotated Statutes of Malaysia published by LexisNexis provides comprehensive coverage of the most important federal legislation of Malaysia with complete and detailed annotations to Acts and amending legislation with relevant subsidiary legislation, case law, Rules of Court and other authoritative materials.

Precedents and Forms

Malaysian Precedents and Forms published by LexisNexis and its foreign equivalent Butterworths Encyclopedia of Forms and Precedents contain a variety of precedents to assist in the drafting of legal documents.  Precedent books are also available for certain special areas of the law.

Court Forms

Atkins Court Forms Malaysia published by LexisNexis and its foreign equivalent the English Atkins Court Forms  provide the main procedural documents required for civil proceedings before the court.

Encyclopedic Works

Halsbury's Laws of Malaysia published by LexisNexis, which is equivalent to the Halsbury's Laws of England, covering various areas of law is useful for searching the current legal position on a given point of law.

Court Practice Books

Malaysian Court Practice published by LexisNexis in four volumes covering Trial Courts and Appellate Courts is an aid to practitioners appearing in particular courts. It sets out all relevant legislation and rules which govern practice in courts.  They also set out informal rules such as Practice Directions which must be followed.  A desk edition is also available for quick reference.

Digests

Mallal's Digest ("MD"), a multi-volume digest summarises local cases by subject and allows finding of cases on specific issues or topics. As the cases are in summary form, a greater number of cases can be consulted within a shorter period of time. Apart from reissues and yearbooks, there is a monthly current service called Mallal's Current Law ("MCL"). This digest was originally published as Butterworths Law Digest ("BLD") and later as Mallal's Monthly Digest ("MMD").

The library has the foreign equivalent in The Digest: Annotated British, Commonwealth, and European Cases (known as the English Empire Digest until 1981) which commenced in 1919.

Law Dictionaries

The library has a good collection of law dictionaries.  There are many words and phrases judicially considered which have been introduced into the legal vocabulary. Besides  Stroud's Judicial Dictionary published by Sweet & Maxwell, we have the Malaysian version Words, Phrases and Maxims: Legally and Judicially Defined by Dr Anandan Krishnan published by LexisNexis.

Articles published in the following local law journals are indexed for ease of retrieval:
  • Law Review ("LR") by Sweet & Maxwell;
  • Quarterly Law Review ("QLR") by Malaysian Current Law Journal;
  • Articles in Malayan Law Journal ("MLJ");
  • Articles in Industrial Law Reports ("ILR");
  • Articles in Syariah Reports/Laporan Syariah ["CLJ(Sya)"];
  • Articles in Jernal Hukum; and
  • Articles in INSAF, Infoline and Praxis.
Papers presented in conferences, seminars, etc, participated by, or organised by, Bar Council are also indexed.

Loose-leaf Services

The library stocks a fairly good collection of loose-leaf services which serve to keep the researcher up to date with new developments in the legal field. These services are regularly updated since the law contained in textbooks may become outdated even before they reach the printers.  Some law reports too do come in loose-leaf format, eg MSCLC and MSTC.

Textbooks

The library has more than 2,610 practitioner textbooks.  These books are catalogued, classified and arranged according to subject.  The subject dealt with in each book is indicated by alpha numeric code on the spine of the book.

 
eg KPG1314.15

The classification system used is Library of Congress Super K classification, which is a special adaptation of the main Library of Congress Classification.

Practice Directions/Court Circulars

Practice Directions issued by the court are intended to supplement the Rules of Court by clarifying the proper practice under the rules and the manner of compliance therewith.
 
An updated compilation of the Practice Directions/Court Circulars relevant to a practitioner is kept in the library. They can also be found in the Malaysian Court Practice and accessed on the Malaysian Bar Website in the drop down menu under Laws.  New Practice Directions are circulated via email to all Members of the Bar.

Bar Council Rulings

The Bar Council issues Rulings from time to time, which relate to matters of practice, to preserve fundamental principles required in maintaining the dignity of the legal profession, and serve as a guide to Advocates and Solicitors as well as pupils reading in chambers.

The Rulings are contained in Rules and Rulings of the Bar Council Malaysia, an updated print edition of which is available in the library.  The Rulings are also accessible here on the Malaysian Bar website.

Library services

The library is open to the following persons:
  • All Members of the Bar (who possess valid Practising Certificates), free of charge;
  • Pupils in chambers, free of charge;
  • Anyone who has completed the period of pupillage may continue to use the library for a period of four months, free of charge; and
  • Lawyers who have been admitted to the Bar, but have not yet received their Practising Certificates, are permitted to use the library without charge for two months after their date of admission, after which they will be charged RM20 per entry.
Library updates

The Library provides regular updates to legislation and recent library acquisitions on the Malaysian Bar Website, which you can view if you are a registered user of the website and log in using your username and password.

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.
