Non-class related use of Law School rooms for events

All room concerns for Law Classes: contact the Law Registrar. It is prohibited for this office to make any changes to, or reservations for, Law Classes.

The Law School’s facilities, including the classrooms, event and auditorium space, and indoor and outdoor tabling and reception space, are reserved exclusively for use by the Law School. 

  • Only Berkeley Law faculty, departments, centers, and registered Law student organizations in good standing may reserve Berkeley Law facilities.
  • Room reservations are for the Berkeley Law group making the request only. Reservations cannot be made on behalf of non-law student organizations or organizations outside the law school.
  • During the designated Review Sessions/Reading Period, only law school meetings that are exclusively for faculty and/or staff may be scheduled in law school space.  Meetings, events, etc. that include students or other members of the law school community are not permitted.
  • During the Final Examinations Period no events can be scheduled in the Law School,  except those related to the administration of exams.  The only exception to this is that faculty meetings may occur in the Warren Room, so long as they are not disruptive of the administration of exams.
  • Facilities must be used in accordance with all federal, state, and local laws, including ADA regulations, as well as in accordance with University policies and procedures. For details see UCPD Rules of Conduct In Campus Buildings.
  • Due to law class schedule adjustments early each semester event requests cannot be immediately confirmed but are held in the system with an approved status. This holds the space and does not allow another group to reserve “over” your reservation. We cannot issue a final confirmation until the Registrar’s Office releases the rooms; or until three (3) days before your event, whichever comes first.
  • The Law School reserves the right to move events from a requested room or cancel events if they become in conflict with the Law School’s priorities.
  • NOTE: all information on this site is subject to change to ensure compliance with public health and safety protocols, City of Berkeley orders, UCB alcohol policies, food and catering requirements, and space capacity limits.

For all Berkeley Law students, staff and faculty:

Event, Catering and Food Policy

This policy continues in effect as part of our COVID-19 response, and applies to all events held at Berkeley Law. For questions about event policy contact the Building Oversight Committee.

Room Request News

Summer 2023

The law room system will open for approved-conditional reservations for events in the Summer semester on Monday May 1, 2023.

Requests will initially be given the approved-conditional status as final adjustments to class schedules will be ongoing for the first weeks of the new semester.

Events will be given a confirmed status as soon as possible.

***Special note***

The restrooms on floor 1 near elevator A will be completely demolished and replaced over the summer.

 In order to meet the firm deadline the contractor will have permission to work nights and weekends as needed to finish on time. There can be no guarantee any event will not be impacted by noise and inconvenience.

You may want to consider holding events off campus.
