Remember that resting is an important part of learning effectively. In recognition of the importance of taking study breaks, this page provides some resources you can consider utilizing. For instance, you may want to take a break at the library's leisure reading area (first floor) to read your favorite magazine or newspaper.
Or, check out the Vrooman Collection (adjacent to the leisure reading area), which is an eclectic collection of popular fiction and nonfiction on subjects outside of the law. These are arranged by author’s last name.
Blu-Ray & DVD
The Robert Crown Law Library has more than 1,000 video titles to choose from, including popular television shows, documentaries, and videos with tips about practicing law. Search or browse the library catalog, then come to the Loan Desk to pick up your selection.
Availability is limited to Stanford law students, faculty, and staff. Videos are for in-library use only and must be returned the same day. SLS student organizations interested in viewing these films for an event may have extended borrowing privileges. Please inquire with Will Huggins, Associate Director of Access Services, who can provide information about whether public performance rights are included with an individual title. Contact circulation@law.stanford.edu for assistance with extending your loan period.
