Each network user has secured storage space on the Law School network identified as the R:\ drive.
Other drive letters (eg. S:\, J:\ or I:\) are used by some clinics and centers as a central storage area for files.
Each registered law student is allocated 100 megabytes (100MB) of storage space on the Law School Network. This is not enough to store a complete backup of a laptop, however, it should be able to hold course related documents. Please contact help@law.wisc.edu if you have concerns about space usage.
Most AV files are are not allowed and will be removed automatically as unusual space usage is detected. (mp3, .mov, etc.)
