Final exams begin Saturday, May 9. During the final exam period, May 9 - 21, the law library will be open from 7:30 a.m. until 2:00 a.m.

Once again, the law library staff will provide coffee and tea for students during the exam period. The coffee cart will be on the second level of the library from 8 a.m. until noon, and on the lower level from noon until 8 p.m. Enjoy!

We'd like to remind you to keep your personal belongings secure during finals, be courteous to your fellow students by treating the second level of the law library as a quiet study area, and keep those cell phones silent. Good luck on finals and have a great summer!

-The Law Library Staff

As final exams approach we want to remind you--do not leave your personal belongings unattended while in the library. Thefts of laptops, purses, and other valuables do occur. It would be a nightmare to lose your computer with a semester's worth of notes and outlines on it just before finals!  If you see suspicious activity while you are in the library, please notify one of the library staff and/or security (651-523-2100). 

Another reminder now that finals are approaching--cell phone use is not permitted in the library. Please set your ringer to vibrate or silent when entering the library, and if you receive a call while here, take it outside in the hallway so you do not disturb others. 

Thanks for your cooperation!
