Guidelines on Closed Containers
For Use in Classrooms
The Law Council approved the consumption of non-alcoholic beverages
in classrooms during class time subject to the following approved guidelines.
Special events for which beverage is to be served must be approved as
with all special events. In approving the following guidelines, it is
with the view to permitting beverage consumption during class while
minimizing the chance for damage to the property of the law school or
of others, or an increased amount of work for the housekeeping staff.
Although the notion of a “spill-proof” container is in
most respects a misnomer, some containers are more spill-proof than
others. A container with a broad base and screw-on or snap-on lid is
generally preferred over other types of containers. However, it is recognized
that many forms of beverage containers are now commercially available
and are used by students. To be effective, the student should keep the
lid or cap closed when the container is not in actual use.
A. Acceptable Containers
1. Water or pop/soda in bottles that contain a screw-on cap (e.g.
bottled water, pop or soda in plastic bottles, etc.)
2. A beverage container with a screw-on or snap-on lid (e.g. coffee
cups similar to those purchased in coffee shops, those distributed
by the law school during orientation, etc.)
B. Unacceptable Containers
1. Pop/Soda in a can
2. Cups made of paper, waxed-paper, or Styrofoam (those received
at most fast food establishments), whether or not they contain a plastic
or paper lid.
7.1.05 Lobby Tables - To assist in communicating organizations'
purposes, services, and events, lobby tables are placed in appropriate
areas. Reservations for a table should be made at least 24 hours in
advance with the Director of Business Operations, with the proper reservation
form filled out. The use of audio equipment, and the selling of food,
services, or goods must be approved by the Director of Business Operations.
Independent entrepreneurs will be charged a rental fee.
7.1.06 Lost and Found - The Law School maintains a
"Lost and Found" at the security desk. All unclaimed items
will be disposed of at the end of each semester.
7.1.07 Sales and Solicitation - No sales or solicitations
are permitted in lobby areas, meeting rooms, lounges, dining rooms,
or outside areas, without written permission of the Assistant Dean.
All fund raising events of student organizations must be approved by

sidewalks or on non-University areas must comply with city regulations.
7.1.08 Law School Solicitation Policy for Solicitors

shall be by reservation only. When the appointment is finished, the
solicitor shall sign out at the Director of Business Operations=s office.

reservation form" with the Director of Business Operations. The
date, time, and room needed must be specified. Extra time before the
event begins for set-up, rehearsal, etc. may also be requested. Any
need for equipment not normally in the room, (blackboard, PA system,
projector, TV/VCR, room arrangement, lobby signs, tables, etc.) should
be included as part of the room reservation so appropriate arrangements
can be made. Final set-up arrangements must be made at least one week
prior to the event. If the scheduled activity is canceled, the Director
of Business Operations should be notified as soon as possible. This
allows time for another group to schedule the room and also for the
notification of Law School personnel.
C. Any arrangements for food are also approved by the Director of Business
Operations, and should be made when the room reservation is made. Food
arrangements should be made as early as possible, and at least three
(3) working days before the event. IF BEER/WINE IS TO BE SOLD AT AN
ON-SITE EVENT ACCORDING TO STATE LAW A PERMIT MUST BE OBTAINED AT LEAST
FIFTEEN (15) WORKING DAYS BEFORE THE EVENT. It is the responsibility
of the sponsoring organization to secure the permit. Information about
beer/wine permits is available from the Assistant Dean of Student and
Minority Affairs or the Director of Business Operations. For more information
see the Policy on Alcoholic Beverages.
D. Some events will require the presence of security personnel. These
include events that are all-school or open to the public; require the
organization to be in a building after the regular hours when the building
is open; or at the request of the security office. A list of those attending
may sometimes be needed by the security office.
E. Sponsoring organizations are responsible for equipment and facilities,
proper clean-up and return of all equipment and supplies. Individuals
and organizations WILL BE CHARGED for the repair and replacement of
facilities and equipment, and are also responsible for any and all expenditures.

of, or damage to, personal or organizational property that occurs during
the rental or use of the facilities.
