Located in the Bullocks Wilshire building, one of the most admired and significant Art Deco structures in the world, Southwestern's award-winning Law Library is a masterpiece of form and function. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the building was constructed in 1929 and purchased by Southwestern in 1994. After painstaking restoration and adaptation, the Law Library stands as an eloquent testament to Southwestern's commitment to both tradition and innovation.
With its blend of historic interiors and modern conveniences, the Law Library has become an incomparable resource for legal scholarship. Under the direction of a staff of highly knowledgeable and accessible law librarians, the Library features a major print and microform collection of over 450,000 volumes, custom-designed study and research seating for 610 people, and computer labs with over 80 workstations accessing a wide range of online services and software applications. Southwestern's Law Library demonstrates in the most tangible way how much we value the students and scholars who pass through its doors.

LOS ANGELES - Jerome M. Nemiro, the former president of the Bullocks Wilshire department stores and preserver of the Art Deco building where the retail chain began, has died. He was 85.
He died Friday in Los Angeles after battling Parkinson's disease for several years, his son Guy said.
Nemiro was president of Bullocks from 1974 to 1987. After his retirement, the chain merged with another company that later merged with Macy's.
He also worked to preserve the architecture of the 1929 building where Bullocks began, the Wilshire Boulevard emporium, now the library of Southwestern University School of Law, by restoring golf leaf ornamentation, furniture and murals.
Nemiro considered the building and its tea room an architectural landmark and hosted fashion shows and fund-raisers there.
Bullocks started with three stores and expanded to seven under Nemiro's leadership. The retail chain also started a mail-order catalog.
"The next most significant thing to happen will be purchasing department store merchandise from your home or office via catalogs or television," he once predicted.
Nemiro, who was born in Portland, Ore., served in the Army during World War II.
He also is survived by his wife, the former Dolores Naar; two daughters, Lee Ganey of Enid, Okla., and Dee Van Romer of Clemson, S.C.; three stepchildren, Sharman Miller of Sherman Oaks, and Andy and Peter Naar, both of Los Angeles; and 10 grandchildren.
