Food and Drink

This rule applies to water in enclosed bottles, as well. A student who brings food into the labs must put it away or he or she will be asked to leave.

Eligibility, Account Set-up and Expiration of Privileges

The computer facilities are available for use only by currently enrolled JD, LLM and JSP students at Boalt Hall. You must obtain a password and attend an orientation session to use the computers. Visiting scholars can use other campus computer centers by going to 206 Evans Hall (Mon-Fri 10am-4pm) and signing up for an account.

Before using the computer labs you must attend a short orientation session (approximately 30 minutes) where you will receive your login to the lab network.

All graduating 3Ls and LLM students will have access to the labs until the end of the California Bar. After this date your lab accounts will be disabled. You should make sure that before you leave Boalt you transfer your files from the lab server to a USB key or CD. If you do not know how to do this please ask a labtech to assist you.

If you are a 3L who is not graduating (for example you are a JSP/JSD/Joint Degree student) and will be returning to Boalt in the Fall semester and are also not going to be officially enrolled you should email Michael Levy so that we can make special acommodations for lab access. If you are officially enrolled it is not necessary to notify us as you will automatically appear in our list of students. In your email give your name, program at Boalt (JD, JSP, JSD etc) and expected graduation date.

Loss of Privileges

You will lose your computer lab privileges if you:

• Allow another person to use your account and password.
• Reconfigure the operating system of any computer.
• Use abusive language, sexually harrass, or engage in physical contact with any staff or person using the labs.
• Remove (steal) any hardware or peripheral from a workstation.

Disabled Student Access

It is the policy of Boalt Hall Law Library to provide equal access to library resources and services for all of our primary patrons. Boalt Hall students with disabilities should contact Mindi J. Mysliwiec at (510) 642-3263, mmysliwiec@law.berkeley.edu for information about services available at the Law School and to arrange for any accommodations necessary to use computing resources.

Privacy and Security

Microsoft Office saves the user's name and organization as part of a document. This will correspond to the user's login, which is the Student ID. To clear this information, Choose "Remove Hidden Data" from the File menu. Note, this must be repeated each time the document is edited.
