Borrowing Materials at the William A. Wise Law Library

Materials may be used inside of the library by anyone. Buff OneCards or public law library borrower cards are required to check out law library materials that circulate. Only the person named on the card is allowed to use the card. Each borrower is responsible for the materials they have checked out.Ìý

CU Law students, faculty, and staff are automatically registered in the library system. Your Buff OneCard serves as your library card. Affiliates of other CU Boulder units should refer to the University Libraries' Circulation Policies and Procedures.
