The law schools in the New York metropolitan area are working together to provide support for one another during this time of recovery from Hurricane Sandy. To that end, given that some law schools may be off-line next week, and the location of some law schools may be difficult to reach for those with long commutes, faculty and students who may need to access library services may use the resources for the next week of a partner law school, listed below, that may be located closer to their homes. Contact information for these partner Schools is as follows. Faculty members and students are encouraged to check the websites of the partner law school to ensure it is open and to call the contact person listed to ensure the resource(s) you need is available. Thank you.

Directions: Students can get train service to Newark Penn Station; the school is one block away. For those who can drive to Newark, Seton Hall has an attached parking garage for cash on a daily basis (the School does not own the garage, so it cannot provide free parking). When train service is restored, use the Newark Broad Street Station (trains from Montclair and Summit, for instance, go through this station). Students can access the law school by taking the Newark Light Rail from Newark Broad to Newark Penn and then walking a block to the law school.
