Policies

The library is run on the honor system. Every law school student is expected to display professional courtesy to classmates and staff and adhere to the following policies:

• Checkout material before removing it from the library;
• Handle materials with care;
• Follow applicable copyright guidelines and licensing restrictions;
• Make sure drinks are in covered containers;
• Do not bring in food that is messy, smelly, or noisy when eaten; individual snack items are allowed;
• Turn off cell phone ringers upon entering the library and take all cell phone conversations outside the library; do not hold cell phone conversations in the stairwells as voices carry;
• Be courteous and keep noise levels down, including in the study rooms (the 4th floor is designated as a quiet floor);
• Do not leave personal belongings unattended in the library and secure laptops to carrels/tables;
• Do not engage in exclusive possession (homesteading) of carrels; unattended materials will be confiscated when left for extended periods of time.

In the spirit of maintaining a collegial atmosphere, feel free to point out these policies directly to classmates or other patrons who are not adhering to them.

If you have a concern, please contact library personnel at the circulation or reference desks. Please keep in mind that library personnel are not able to monitor the entire library at all times.
