Studying Late?
Don?t forget about the All Night Study Room. Entrance to the room, located on the northwest corner of the building, is by a code that is issued to individual students at the circulation desk or via the online study room reservation system.  The all night study room is intended for individual study in a quiet atmosphere. It is not intended for group study and does not provide access to the rest of the building.

Law School Past Exams
Many faculty members make their past exams available to students as a teaching aid. In an effort to provide students with the broadest possible access to past exams, the Law Library has placed them online. You may access them from the Law Library?s home page.

Study Skills Collection
It is easy for you to find books that will help you succeed on your exams. The Law Library staff has created a Study Skills Collection. Located in the Reserve Reading room on the first floor of the Law Library, the collection brings together an array of study aids, legal research and writing texts, exam and bar exam materials. Material may be checked out for one week and are renewable twice. 

Good luck on your exams from the Law Library staff.
