Law Library Sole Practitioner
Location Impacted: The construction is in the western portion of the Law Library ground floor
along East 18th Street.
The Law Library will have construction going on for the Law Library Sole Practitioner Suite.
Construction is anticipated to be complete by Monday, January 20, 2014. The Sole Practitioner
is a project for new lawyers who have passed their bar exams and wish to start their own sole
practice. A construction barricade will be erected to minimize dust and noise. We are
recommending that studying be done on other floors. We hope that the inconvenience will be
worthwhile. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation while we add four more study
spaces to the Library and a suite of 10 offices for this incubator project.
