Professors place materials on closed reserve for use by students in their class. You can check out these items from the Information Desk on Sub-1 of the Law Library.
These materials must stay in the Underground Library, and the length of time you can check them out depends on the time of the school year:
During study days, exams, and the first two weeks of class, you can check out closed reserve items for up to 2 hours.
Other times during the semester, they're due in 4 hours.
