Top Law Schools

Hey, I'm a DC native 2L who goes to law school in a different city but is back home in DC for winter break. I just got my latest LR case note draft back and I'm going to have to put in a lot of work on it for the next week before school starts. So my question is, can I access the library at any of the DC law schools (GULC, GW, CUA, UDC, AU, not really looking to hike out to GMU) without having to show a student ID (which I obviously don't have)?

Don't know about all the ones you mentioned, but Howard has a really nice library, and you can just walk in and do whatever. I know a bunch of people that studied for the lsat there.

Ah completely forgot about Howard, thank you so much.

Looks like Georgetown lets students from other law schools use the library, and American is open to the public:

George Washington, not so clear. No clue what the OCLC Shares is:

Not at GW. Need a student ID to get through the turnstiles. Unsure if/how you could get guest privileges.

Yep, I toured Howard. Awesome library. They let lots of students access it

GULC is good about carding us whenever we go through the library. Though if you just need internet, you can take a left before the checkpoint, go down the stairs, and sit on the couches outside the journal offices.
