Reserve & Policies

How to Reserve a law library seat or group space:

Some carrels, seats and study rooms are reservable. Reservations can be made up to two weeks in advance via the "Reserve a Space" link on our homepage, or in the moment via the QR code posted by each seat. Individual reservations are limited to four hours and back-to-back reservations are permitted. To see a picture of a seat before you reserve it, click on the seat's listing on the reservation site.

Policies:

Seats and Carrels:

  • Law students only. Non-law UW students can reserve rooms in other libraries here.
  • Individuals cannot have more than one space reserved at a time. 
  • If a reservation is not claimed within 15 minutes, the reservation is subject to cancellation and the room may be used by another group/individual. 
  • Please do not leave your belongings unattended. 
  • Questions or issues with these policies--talk to the Circulation Desk. 

Law Student Study Rooms: 

  • 2-hour limit to reservations per UW NetID. If you're in a group and want more time, someone else can reserve the same room for another two hours using their NetID. 
  • No more than 2 reservations per day.
  • Priority for groups: Even if you've reserved the room if you're alone in the room and a group walks up, the group has priority and you will have to move elsewhere.

Reservable Seating and Study Rooms

Table Seats Large tables on both floors of the library, each with 3-4 individual seats for reservation. These are a great choice for those who want open space and natural light. To reserve a seat at a table, change the "Category" drop-down menu to "Tables" on the reservation site.

Carrel Seats Groups of carrels located throughout the library. The different spaces offer varying levels of natural light, privacy, and noise. Some do not have electricity. Carrels designated with an icon shaped like a plug have outlets. 

Study Rooms Twelve study rooms available on L2. To reserve a study room, change the "Location" drop-down menu to "L2 Study Rooms" on the reservation site.
