Access
Vanderbilt University Law School restricts building access during evenings and weekends to law faculty, law students, law staff and authorized library patrons. The building is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Building doors are locked all other hours (evenings, weekends, holidays, etc.) and authorized cards are required for entry.
Library patrons do not need access cards in the summer because the library is not open on evenings and weekends.
Library patrons who need access during evenings and weekends should follow the appropriate procedure listed below. Library staff cannot authorize entry upon demand.

Schedule
The Law Library’s schedule varies throughout the year, and as the library is located within the law school building, access by members of the general public is generally limited to hours when the building is open to the public; 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. during the academic year; 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. during the summer and holidays. You may request access to the library during hours when the library is open, but the building is closed, by calling the Library’s administrative office at 322-2187.
Wireless Network Access
Wireless networking is available school-wide for patrons with laptops equipped with “WiFI” compliant network cards. If you are a non-Vanderbilt patron, you will need to request an access code from a staff member at the library's circulation desk.
