Dear Students and Faculty Members:
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.

reopening information. When it reopens, the library offering internet

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.
