Law School and Library Facilities

The law school building was originally opened in 1954 and was expanded in 1991. It provides technologically equipped classrooms, seminar rooms, a state-of-the-art law library, a magnificent courtroom, faculty offices, administrative offices, lounges, and offices for student organizations.

Student have access to study carrels in our expansive Law Library. Each carrel consists of a desk with a sliding tray for a laptop computer and a secure storage area allowing students ready access to books and notes. These carrels link students' personal computers to a school-wide computer system giving them instant access to the electronic age in law.

The Law Library has been carefully developed to integrate computer technology with a strong, core collection of over 380,000 print, microform, and CD-ROM volumes, making it possible to find or obtain most needed research and study materials very quickly. Additionally, the Library participates in a number of resource sharing consortia with other libraries, making it possible to obtain even hard-to-find research materials upon request.
