Howard W. Hunter Law Library
J. Reuben Clark Law School
I, _____________________________________, agree and understand that my occupancy of study carrel #________ is conditioned upon compliance with the terms stated below, and may be terminated at any time, with or without cause. I also agree that I will be financially liable for any damage to the carrel resulting from my occupation of it, and acknowledge that failure to pay for damages may affect the receipt of my law school diploma and/or certification to take the bar exam.
Key Principles
- The primary purposes of the Law Library are to provide resources for legal research and a location for scholarship and study. These purposes are best accomplished in a clean, orderly and quiet environment.
- As a courtesy, the Law Library has made study carrels available to assist students in their academic endeavors.
- Occupancy of a study carrel is a privilege, not an entitlement. Inherent in this privilege are important obligations.
