Inclement Weather Policy

Just a reminder about the law school's policy on inclement weather. Important note: The law school and the rest of the university do not always respond to a weather event in the same way. As a result, you should rely on communication from the law school to learn the operating status of the law school and the law library. Do not rely on public announcements made by the media or by the university because those announcements might not apply to the law school. The law school's official policy on inclement weather appears below.

If you are scheduled to work and the library is open, you are expected to arrive on time. Please call me, Mike or Maya if weather conditions will make it impossible to show up for your shift. Please be sure you have our home and cell phone numbers with you. In the event of inclement weather, we will communicate information about the operating status of the law school and the law library in three ways: 1) E-mail notice via the law school listservs, 2) Notice on the law school web site, and 3) Recording on the law school main telephone number (703-993-8000). For a weather event that develops overnight, we will try to make a decision and have it communicated before 7:30 a.m. the next morning.

Welcome Back!

Well, it's that time of year! Welcome back to those of you who are returning and welcome to those of you who are just joining us. You are the public face of the law library, and we are delighted to have you on board! For those of you who do not know me, I am Larry Reeves, the associate director of the law library. There have been a few organizational changes among the library staff over the summer. Christine is now the instructional services librarian, and I will have responsibililty for managing public services, which includes circulation. Mike and Maya will continue as your direct supervisors, but please feel free to come to me with any questions or concerns you may have. I will also be responsible for approving your time sheets. I will try to stop by and introduce myself for those of you I haven't met, but you should also feel free to stop by my office on the second floor and introduce yourself. I wish you all a happy and successful school year!

The Library Will Be Closed This Weekend

Due to a scheduled power outage, the library will close at 5pm on Friday, July 31 and will reopen on Monday, August 3 at 10am. No one will be admitted to Hazel Hall during this time.

BarBri Students

Non-GMU BarBri (Bar review) students must present their BarBri ID to use the law library. They do not have to sign the guestbook.

BarBri has been given a special code so that the students can use the wireless network. Questions about accessing the network should be directed to the Law School's Computing Services unit in room 362 of the law library. If you have any questions, please see Christine, Maya, or Mike. Thank you.
