Access to the Library

The William M. Rains Library serves as a resource to the students, faculty, staff and alumni of Loyola Law School and Loyola Marymount University, as well as to members of the legal education community, the bench and the bar. The Library also provides an academic environment conducive to the efficient and comfortable study of law.

In order to provide an optimum environment for research and study, and to provide for the personal security of its users and collection, Library users must present approrpiate identification at the Law School entrance, at the Library Circulation desk or when requested by a staff member.  

Individuals who are not members of any of these groups may request permission to use the Library from the Library Director in advance of their visit.

Please note that members of the general public should contact the LA Law Library for legal resources and services. 

The Law School administration, Library administration and security services of Loyola Law School may request that anyone who is disruptive to the academic environment, threatening the safety of others, or exhibiting a disregard for LLS property, leave the Library or campus.
