Chicago-Kent Law Library

We're on summer hours until the beginning of the fall semester! We'll also be closed for various holidays, so be sure to check here, on Google, and on the law library website for more information.

Reference hours remain the same, so feel free to stop by during open hours or send us an email with any reference questions, including those you encounter during your summer jobs!

The library has extended hours during read period, finals, and commencement weekend! Reference hours remain the same.

The library is offering appellate brief sessions next week, March 30 through April 3. Librarians can assist with citation marking, table of authorities, template formatting, and other Word issues you may encounter.

Students MUST sign up through the Bookings page that is linked in their LW2 Canvas announcement. We will not accept appointments via email, and we cannot take walk-ins next week.

The library is open regular hours during spring break (though we completely understand if students spend their break outside!).

The Law Library will be open regular hours, though with reduced staff onsite, on Friday, January 23, and Saturday, January 24.

Please stay safe this weekend, and if you do come by the library, please thank the staff who volunteered to keep the library open!

It's the first day of spring semester! The library is back to its regular hours, so stop by for a study room (one hour per person per day), research help (with slightly more modern tech than shown here!), or a puzzle break.

Happy end of finals! Our winter break hours start tomorrow, December 13.

We hope everyone has a wonderful winter break!

As we wind down regular classes for the semester, here are some library resources and reminders for reading period and final exams!

The library will have extended hours during the read period and final exams! We'll also be closing for Thanksgiving. Reference hours remain as M-F, 9-5.

Classes have moved online today, but the library is open regular hours!
