Carrel Reservation

Library carrels are now open for short-term reservations through our online carrel reservation system.

Carrel Reservation Policy:

• L3 carrels are all available for use by law students on a first-come-first-serve basis (no reservation required).
• L4 houses open and closed carrels. Open carrels 401 – 448 are available to be reserved for up to 4 hours.
• L4 closed carrels are unavailable.
• L5 houses open carrels which are also available to be reserved.
• Carrel users with a reservation on L4 and L5 have priority over walk-in users.
• Carrels may be reserved up to one week in advance and reservations are limited to one carrel per law student per day.
• Reservations may be canceled if the carrel is vacant 15 minutes or more after the reservation start time.
• For security reasons, any unattended belongings left in unreserved carrels for more than 60 minutes may be removed.

Storage of Research Materials

As a reminder, law students wishing to store research materials in the library should submit a Shelf Reservation Request.  

These policies are subject to change during the reading period and exams.
