Reading & Exam Period Access Policy

To maintain a quiet atmosphere during examination periods, law library access is limited to Boston University law students and other Boston University researchers who require our legal collections.

Non-law BU students may use the law library only for the purpose of completing a specific, required assignment for a class in which the student is currently enrolled. Non-law B.U. students using the library must complete a law library access form. For additional information on Restricted Access please see our FAQ.
