Any student found responsible for committing misconduct is subject to disciplinary sanctioning, up to and including permanent revocation of library privileges.

  • The following policy serves to ensure equitable access to study rooms for all law (J.D./LL.M./J.S.D.) students. Failure to comply with the following rules may result in permanent revocation of privileges.
  • Please be advised that the following procedures and rules are subject to change as the need arises.
  • Study Carrels are restricted to currently enrolled Law Graduate (J.D./LL.M./J.S.D.) students.
  • Study Carrels are not soundproof, so noises may be heard outside the room. Please be considerate of others.

Reservation Policy

  • No reservations are allowed. Study carrels are first come, first served.

Checkout

  • You must present your SUNY ID card to check out a study carrel key, and you are the only person permitted in the room while it is checked out to you.
  • You are responsible for ensuring the key is returned at least 15 minutes prior to the library closing or when you are finished using the room.
  • You are responsible for ensuring that the study carrel door is closed and locked after use to prevent unauthorized use of the room.

Lost and Overdue Keys

  • If the key is lost or stolen, you will incur a replacement fee of $100. Study carrel privileges will be revoked until the replacement fee is paid or the key is returned.
  • Repeated failure to return a key or violation of any of the above checkout policies may result in the revocation of study carrel privileges.

Security
