Study Space at the Law Library

The Law Library offers a number of different study spaces to accommodate your needs.  As you walk through the library you will notice some comfortable lounge chairs, numerous study carrels, and large tables.  If you would like to eat while studying, please sit in the “Atrium Café”, a covered courtyard with bistro tables and a closed-captioned flat screen t.v.  

Another popular study area is the Rosen Reading Room, a dsignated "silent" study area, accessible through the Reserve Room.  

Be sure to check them all out, and decide which best suits you.

Group Study Rooms
Many law students find it helpful to work in groups, whether on a course project or when studying for finals.  Recognizing this need, the library has created a number of group study rooms on Floor 2.  These rooms must be reserved at the Circulation Desk and are available on a first-come first-served basis.

Computer Access
There are three areas in the Law Library with desktop computers for student use.  On the third floor, you will see the Electronic Research Center (ERC) and the Barclay Computer Center. Near the restrooms on Floor 2 is the Ruger Computer Center.  The Barclay and Ruger centers are limited to law student use and require a login.  The ERC does not require a login.

Laptops & Wireless
Wherever you choose to study in the Law Library, you will be able to access AirOrange, Syracuse University’s Wireless Service, with your laptop.  To find out more about using AirOrange, please click here to learn about the Requirements for Accessing AirOrange.  There are also laptop ports located throughout the library offering wired connectivity.
