The K1–7720 range constitutes the core of the Library of Congress Classification System (LCC) for Law, primarily covering Law in General, Comparative and Uniform Law, and Jurisprudence. This section is used to organize legal works that are universal in scope rather than limited to a single jurisdiction. Key Topics within K1–7720:
K1-7720: Law in general, comparative and uniform law, and jurisprudence. K115-130: The legal profession. K140-165: History of law. K201-487: Jurisprudence, philosophy, and theory of law. K520-5582: Comparative law. K1000-1395: Commercial law. K2100-2385: Courts and procedure. K3154-3370: Constitutional law. Usage and Scope:
Universal Scope: These materials address legal principles that transcend national boundaries, such as works comparing the laws of two or more regions or international treaties. Private International Law: Covers conflict of laws.
Library Location: In many academic libraries, such as Northeast State Community College and Steely Library, these materials are found in the K sub-category of the Library of Congress classification.
These resources are essential for studying legal systems, legal history, and theoretical approaches to law rather than specific national statutes. If you’re interested, I can also look up: Specific treatises within this range. The difference between K, KF, and KFT classifications. Online legal databases that mirror this classification.
