Jacob Burns Law Library Pandemic Support

Your gifts today allow GW Law scholars to thrive by providing continued use of facilities with ample resources to ensure their success. We invite you to make a philanthropic commitment to the Jacob Burns Law Library in their efforts to put student service first!

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Associate Dean Scott Pagel and Law Library staff have gone above and beyond to support GW Law students. They worked tirelessly to facilitate the use of resources for students, as one of the few law libraries in the country to remain open the entirety of the pandemic. Whether these efforts involve mailing, scanning, or coordinating no-contact pick up, Associate Dean Pagel refuses to leave students without such essential support. Recognizing the limitations of studying and testing from home, extensive safety measures have been taken to allow students to return to the library for exams. From plexiglass barriers and book sanitizing machines to socially distanced seating and expanded workspaces, no precaution is too much to ensure students have a safe place to focus and succeed.
