All Graduate Programs Students:
We had our first "fire drill" on September 23. You
should now be aware of the fire signal at the Law School.
The signal for a fire (either a "drill" [practice] or a real fire)
is a loud alarm noise. Follow the directions given below --
"Emergency signals to leave the Law School." Exit the building
calmly and quickly.
Emergency signals to leave the Law School: Whether you are in a classroom or elsewhere in the Law School, when there is an alarm signal, gather your belongings and leave the building using the exit closest to where you are. You will be informed when you can re-enter the building. Maps of emergency exits are posted around the Law School; please look at them so you are prepared.
Thefts at the Law School: The Law School including the Law Library, is an "open" building and thefts do occur from time to time, we're sorry to say. Please take necessary precautions - do NOT leave your wallet, computer, or other valuables unattended.
Recycle! Please note the various "bins" in the Law School for your trash, newspapers, soft drink bottles or cans, etc. Please use the correct bin. Also, if you see something in the wrong bin, please take a second and put it in the correct bin!
