The Sarita Kenedy East Law Library seeks to provide the best possible learning environment for its students. The law library supports student scholarship by maintaining and expanding collections that are both comprehensive and diverse and targeted towards student needs. We welcome student suggestions.
The Law Library is home to several collections that are designed to enhance the law school experience. Collections of particular interest to law students are:

Signs need an approval stamp before you hang them. Bring the sign to the Circulation Desk, and we can stamp it for you. The law library can also put a poster in a frame on a stand near the library entrance.
Scrolling monitor ads: A scrolling ad display is located next to the 1st floor restroom in the Law Library. To put your ad in the scrolling news announcements and photos, make a PowerPoint slide and email it to Professor Stacy Fowler.
