Room Reservations

Room Planning Services

Non-class related use of Law School rooms for events

 

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

The Law School is not open and cannot be reserved for weekend events.

  • Only Berkeley Law faculty, departments, centers, and Registered Law Student Organizations and Journals (RSOs) 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 groups 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 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, all space is required for 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 Policies page.
  • Due to law class schedule adjustments early each semester event requests cannot be immediately confirmed but are held in the system so that another group cannot reserve “over” your reservation. However that does not mean your event is approved. We cannot issue a final approval/confirmation until the Registrar’s Office releases the rooms/ or until three (3) working days before your event (whichever comes first).
  • In general, the law school building is not able to support events taking place outside of regular business hours (8:00am to 5:00pm, Monday through Friday). Events that are staged by Berkeley Law Centers or departments and are staffed by the employees of a Berkeley Law Center or department may be allowed before 8:00am, after 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday, with the understanding that employees of a Berkeley Law School center or department will be present at the event, stay until the end of the event, and be responsible for clean-up once the event is over.
  • RSO event planners should seek assistance from ASUC to host an after-hours event. For more information regarding event support from ASUC or the campus Dean of Students.
  • The Law School is not able to accommodate requests from RSOs to host events for whom the law school community (students, staff, and faculty) is not the primary audience. Student groups seeking to host a campus-wide/public event should contact ASUC or the campus Dean of Students.
  • 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 educational mission.
  • Please contact the Law Registrar with all questions regarding class scheduling. Room Planning is NOT able to make any changes to class scheduling.
  • 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.
