Alumni Library Access
All St. John's University School of Law alumni are welcome to use the law library during our circulation service desk hours after receiving a Law Alumni Library Access card. Law alumni should complete our Law Alumni Access card form. Please note that while alumni are welcome to use the library, accompanying guests will not be granted access. For questions about alumni access, please contact us.
Alumni Library Access benefits include the opportunity to:

Alumni Library Access Limitations:
The Rittenberg Law Library’s primary mission is to serve the current students, faculty and staff of St. John's University School of Law. While alumni are welcome to request reference assistance during our regular reference hours, we are not able to conduct research or retrieve library sources on behalf of alumni.
Access is limited to library service hours only. There is no Alumni access during final-exam periods. Please consult the Academic Calendar for final exam dates.
Access to the physical library spaces does not grant access to any digital or electronic resources, equipment, or services other than the Patron Access Westlaw account noted above. Access to all other library-licensed electronic resources is limited to current St. John’s students, faculty, administrators, and staff and/or those who have both an active St. John's email address and sign-on credentials.
Library access does not confer borrowing privileges.
Rittenberg Law Library alumni visitors are expected to comply with the law library's policies.
