COVID has disrupted access to the U.S. government depository materials, as the library is closed to the public (except for NYU students, faculty and staff). We thank you for your patience. 

Visiting the NYU Law library

The New York University School of Law library is located in Vanderbilt Hall at 40 Washington Square South, Manhattan.
