As we approach the end of the semester, the Law Library is here to support you. Please take note of the below resources and updates regarding Library services.
Extended Hours
Up to May 15, the Library will be open from 7:30am to 2:00am (Monday through Friday) and 9:00am to 2:00am (Saturday and Sunday).
Bar Study in the Library
NYU Law School graduates are welcome to use the Law Library to study for the bar exam. This access extends until August 2026 and is automatic. Please note that due to carpet replacement on the Law Library sub-basement level under Sullivan Street, there will be intermittent construction noise starting on Monday, May 18th and continuing until Friday, July 3rd. During this time, the sub-basement level will be closed. Earplugs will be available at the Welcome Table.
Bee Positive
During the reading period beginning on April 29th, stop by the welcome table for candy, fruit snacks, and a little dose of spring-themed positivity! After you pick up your candy, write a short message of encouragement for your fellow students and stick it on the poster nearby.
