About the Law Library

The Schoenecker Law Library is dedicated to providing a dynamic and innovative environment that will connect, motivate and empower the research, publication and educational goals of the faculty, students and staff of the University of St. Thomas School of Law.

The Schoenecker Law Library covers four floors on the south wing of the School of Law. The main entrance to the library is located on the second floor, which is the center of student activity. The library’s help desk (circulation and reference services), computer lab and reference and reserve collections are also located on the second floor.

For our law students, there are twelve group study rooms located throughout the library and individual study rooms on the first and lower level. In addition to the group study rooms, there is a variety of formal and informal study space available including comfortable seating areas, tables and carrels.

Visitors are strongly encouraged to contact the service desk for information regarding specific services and resources available prior to coming to campus.
