As a courtesy, the Law Library provides study carrels to all current law students in good standing. First-year law students are randomly assigned carrels in the “1L area” at the beginning of the school year. Second- and third-, and fourth-year students select their carrels in April for the upcoming school year. Selection order is determined by a randomly generated lottery system. Incoming second-, third-, and fourth-year students who do not select their carrel during the selection period are not guaranteed carrels outside of the “1L area”. Switching carrel locations is not allowed unless approved by Student Services.
All law students are expected to abide by the terms of the “Carrel Occupancy Agreement.” (pdf version), including the Carrel Use Policy. (Repeated failure to abide by the terms of the Agreement may result in the loss of carrel privileges. It may also result in the denial of carrel privileges in future years.) Each carrel has locking cabinets and file drawers and is provided with power and data outlets. Carrel problems should be reported online or to the Circulation Desk.
