Library Access Policy
The primary function of The Fred Parks Law Library is to support the instructional and research activities of the South Texas College of Law (STCL) academic community. As a member of the local legal community, we also try to support the legal research needs of our alumni, the practicing bar, and other patrons in need of legal information. We hope you find our resources helpful in your legal research. Library Policy on unattended children in the library The Fred Parks Law Library seeks to provide an adult, scholarly environment to support academic and legal research. Children under the age of 14 must be accompanied by a parent or adult guardian at all times. Library staff will not supervise unattended children. Children may not use the computers in the library and will be expected to engage in activities that do not disturb other patrons. Anyone who does not comply with this policy will be asked to leave the library. The Fred Parks Law Library is open to members of the legal community and the general public needing access to legal information during the following hours:
All non - STCL patrons must sign in at the security desk and show photo identification. After 6:00 p.m. each day and until the library closes, only STCL patrons and members of the legal community are admitted. This includes the following:
All non - STCL patrons are required to sign in and show photo ID regardless of what time they arrive. No one will be asked to leave the library if they are here before 6:00 p.m. unless there is a problem; however, only those listed above will be admitted after 6:00 p.m. As a private institution, admittance to the law library for non - STCL patrons is a courtesy that may be withdrawn or restricted at any time as dictated by the needs or concerns of the College. ***Paralegal students are not included in this definition and may utilize the library only during the hours designated for the general public. During those hours, paralegal students may use the library individually, but not in study groups or as a class.
