Due to the Governor’s order 20-99 and Chief Justice Gildea’s order to limit in-person activity in Court facilities, the law library is implementing temporary guidelines to maintain a safe environment for everyone.
- Only 5 patrons are permitted in the library at one time. Patrons must wear masks.
- All patrons must sign in and indicate their time of arrival.
- One-on-one assistance is limited due to social distancing requirements. Please be prepared to work independently.
- Patrons needing a library computer will be assigned one of three available computers.
- There is a one-hour limit for computer use, or thirty minutes if others are waiting.
- Patrons not needing computers may use a table for one hour.
- Library staff will retrieve needed print items for you. Please leave print materials on the table as they need to be quarantined after your use.
- Patrons must use the law library for legal research purposes. General Internet searching, YouTube, or social media access is not considered legal research. If library staff observe that you are not doing legal research, you will be asked to leave the library.
The library will continue to schedule Housing/Conciliation Court Clinic and the Criminal Law Clinic appointments for phone consultations. Please call 651-266-8391 to set up an appointment.
These restrictions are effective November 30, 2020 to February 1, 2021 and are reflective of library restrictions in the metro area, pursuant to the Governor’s order and the order of the Chief Justice of the Minnesota Supreme Court regarding the pandemic. Other law library policies and procedures remain in effect.
Stay safe everyone!
