Cubicles and carrels will be assigned at the beginning the Fall semester.
Graduate students who currently have an assigned cubicle or carrel in the library do not need to reapply.
Assignment of study space
Graduate Students in Law (DCL/LLM) who do not have assigned space elsewhere in the university can apply for reserved study space in the Law Library. As there is limited space, assignment priority is given to DCL students followed by LLM thesis students. The reserved study space cannot be shared or transferred. Assigned space that is unoccupied for more than three weeks will be revoked.

Procedure for borrowing
In order to keep library books at the assigned cubicle/carrel, each book must be borrowed using the carrel card at the Library Service Desk, where a “DO NOT REMOVE” slip will be issued. Library books borrowed after service hours at the Self-Check Unit must be brought to the Library Service Desk the following day for “DO NOT REMOVE” slips. Law Library books that do not have an identifying slip will be removed.
After hour access privileges
These privileges apply only to authorized users with assigned spaces in the Library. For security reasons, no one can accompany you onto the premises. Do not permit anyone to follow you into the library after you have used the SM card reader to enter the building. Access to the building is on an individual basis.
Security reminder
The library is open to the public. Cubicles and carrels are not secure. Do not leave anything of value in the assigned space, including books borrowed from other libraries.
