They also have two study rooms on the 4th floor which could also be used. To reserve, please go to their booking page: https://spaces.library.cornell.edu/spaces?lid=529.  If you have any questions, please directly contact the Law Library Circulations (lawcirc@cornell.edu).

You are also able to reserve one of the meeting rooms in the Hub (Ground floor of Myron Taylor Hall – Jane Foster Wing). To check availability and reserve, use the individual display pads outside of each room.
