It's what you need to know!
Please do not leave your valuables alone anywhere in the School of Law. Your textbooks, bookbags, purses, laptops and other belongings can be easily taken in just “30 seconds.”
We welcome visitors to the School of Law and to the Law Library, both those associated with the University and those who are not. Having open doors, however, also means anyone can come into the building. It would be wise to always be careful and make it a habit to never leave your belongings unattended.
Every Friday from 5:15 to 6:15 in the West Hall Lounge, the Law Association for Women will meet to discuss a book and learn to knit. Food will be provided.
