Additional Services and Extra Charges
Coat Check
Vanderbilt Hall
During the academic year, there is a coat check attendant on duty in Vanderbilt Hall that serves the entire Law School community Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM until 11:00 PM. There is no charge for this service. Since this one attendant must handle coats for everyone in the building who desires the service, an extra attendant must be ordered for large events (parties of 100 or more) at the rate of $27.00 per hour, with a 5 hour minimum fee.
There is no regularly scheduled coat attendant on duty Saturday or Sunday, but arrangements can be made through the Office of Hospitality and Food Services to hire an attendant at the weekend rate of $27.00 per hour, with a 5 hour minimum fee.

Mercer Pub & Residence Halls
For events taking place in Mercer Pub and residence hall terraces with non-resident attendees, a guest list is required for security purposes. Each guest should be denoted as either Law School-affiliated or from outside the Law School community and the list must include the event name/date/time/location, and contact name with phone number. Please provide the building guard on duty with a copy of the list prior to the event.
Grilling and smoking are prohibited on all terraces.
Mercer Pub and all residence hall terraces are closed to events beginning fifteen days prior to and through the finals periods, in accordance with quiet hours.
The Mercer Pub has a curfew of 11:00 pm on weeknights and 1:00 am on weekends. The residence hall terraces have a curfew of 11:00 pm on all nights. Excessive noise will result in an early shut-down of the event.
Storage of Materials
On some occasions it may be possible to store materials 24 hours prior to an event. However, storage space at the Law School is limited. The Office of Hospitality and Food Services is not responsible for items lost or stolen while in storage. Any items left in a Law School space must be retrieved no later than one day after the end of an event.
Easels
Furman Hall
The facilities office will only accept requests for easels three days before an event. In addition, We will limit the number of easels at any given point in time to five: please adhere to the Vanderbilt Hall guidelines. Students may of course still announce their events in the Docket and by posting notices in the Vice Dean's bulletin boards.
Vanderbilt Hall
In response to the constructive feedback in last year’s community survey, we have been looking for economical and efficient ways to increase the space available to communicate the myriad and diverse activities of the Law School. To this end, the incremental upgrading of the public spaces in Vanderbilt Hall has given us the opportunity to upgrade the way we display posters advertising events.
You may have also noticed that a series of brass rails have been installed throughout the ground floor lobby and second floor landing of Vanderbilt Hall. We are excited about this system of display, as it will allow the community to have more posters and in more prominent locations than the previous use of easels. We encourage organizations to design posters to get noticed: keep your message simple, your text readable and be sure to remember the details (date, time & location).
