Library tables, available on both the first and second floor of the Law Library, as well as library carrels and study pods on the second floor, are available on a first come, first served basis. Students are not permitted to "reserve" library spaces with their belongings. All books and other property must be removed when you are not actively using a study space (carrel, seat, table, etc.).
All library study rooms are available through the library's reservation system. Students may reserve library spaces on a first come, first served basis up to 24 hours in advance. You must make a reservation to study in a study room.
All library policies, including the Food and Drink Policy, must be followed. Currently, only cold snack foods and covered drinks are allowed in the Law Library. No hot or smelly foods are permitted at any time.
In order to properly close down the library's operations and to safeguard the well-being of students and staff, the library follows a set closing schedule. The cooperation of library users is essential in this task.
Closing procedures for the library begin 15 minutes prior to the established closing time. This means material checked-out will cease 15 minutes before closing and an announcement will be made 15 minutes before closing so patrons can return reserve items, check out items, and begin exiting study rooms before closing.
The Law Library's first floor houses long study tables and smaller tables, for individual or collaborative quiet study. The study area's floor-to-ceiling windows flood the room with natural light.
Moveable whiteboards make it easy to lay out ideas while studying. You may check out an available whiteboard from the Service Desk.
The second floor is the library's silent study area. Here you will find individual study carrels, study pods, seating and tables in different configurations, moveable white boards, and the law library's seven (7) study rooms. You must make a reservation to use a study room. All reserved study spaces are available for a maximum of three (3) hours per day and may be reserved up to 24 hours in advance.
When filling out your reservation, please list the names and emails of the additional students in the appropriate space on the reservation form. To reserve a study room, click here to access the resource scheduler. Students are encouraged to wear masks when study rooms are utilized by two or more persons. When studying in groups, wearing a mask is the number one way to prevent and reduce infection.
