Lockers

At the start of the fall semester students may select one locker via the Web. Students are required to provide their own locks. Master Lock key locks, not combination locks, are recommended. Irreplaceable or expensive items should not be stored in lockers.

Students must remove locks and locker contents at the end of the school year. Items removed from lockers by the Information Center are stored for two weeks before being discarded.

Any and all thefts should be reported to:

• Public Safety
• The Dean of Students
• The Information Center
• Building Services
• The Security Office (111 Low Library). Students will be asked to provide information to make an official report.

To reserve a locker, log onto LawNet and select the locker of your choice. For your reference, a map of the locker area is available online. All lockers are located on the first floor of Jerome L. Greene Hall and are maintained through the Law School Information Center. If you need help making your on-line selection, please contact the Student Technology Group in Jerome Greene Hall, Room 216I.

All locks and locker contents must be removed from lockers at the end of the school year. Returning students may select a new locker assignment at the start of each school year. Questions about lockers should be directed to the Information Center at 212-854-4477.

Flyers, Signage, and Event Promotion

Materials and noticed related to events, student organizations, and other opportunities for students can be shared through the following channels:

• Law School events can be promoted on the monitors located in Jerome Greene Hall and William and June Warren Hall, as well as via the daily calendar email distribution. To have an event included on the monitors and in e-blasts, add it to the Law School event calendar. 
   
• While making use of digital signage is generally preferred, easels for displaying event-related posters can be requested from the Info Center. Easels may be placed on the 1st and 3rd Floors of Jerome Greene Hall, in the designated areas outside the elevators. There is a limit of two easels per event. Event posters will be removed once the event has passed. Event organizers may request additional easels to display event-related signage while an event is underway (e.g., schedule of events, room assignments). 
   
• Materials not related to events may be placed on bulletin boards in Law School buildings, but not on walls or doors, on desks or lockers, or in classrooms or elevators. Materials posted in locations other than bulletin boards will be removed, and we ask the help of sponsoring organizations or individuals to remove their postings once they are no longer valid. Bulletin boards are cleared by Facilities on a regular basis.
