law books
Codes and precedents
Law books are volumes containing legal texts—statutes, case reports, treatises, or codes.
The term evokes shelves of leather-bound volumes in attorneys' offices and courtrooms, though much legal research now happens digitally.
The lawyer's office was lined with law books.
Law books also appear as props signifying legal authority or scholarly credibility.
