There are 381 individually assigned carrels in the Law Library. Individual study carrels are assigned to full time second- and third-year law students, as well as to LL.M. students. On specified days at the start of each semester, eligible students may select a carrel from those available. The carrel may be assigned to the student as long as resident, full-time law school enrollment status is maintained. However, if the student accepts a carrel or desk in another area of the law school (e.g., Law Review, TLCP, JCL, JGRJ, or Legal Clinic) the student is ineligible for a library carrel. Users may not store or display items on top of their carrels, and should keep the carrel neat. Qualified students may choose carrels from those available at the beginning of each semester; once a carrel is chosen, it remains that student's carrel until graduation; a student may ask to make a switch, but only at the beginning of each semester.

First-year law students are not assigned study carrels. However, a first-year law student may temporarily occupy a carrel.

Contact Mary Ann Nelson, Executive Law Librarian, in Law Library Room 234, to sign up for a carrel or for additional information concerning library study carrels.
