Library Hours - Fall 2018

Fall library hours for Chastek Library can be found at http://libguides.law.gonzaga.edu/hours. Please note the difference between the "general public" hours and the Gonzaga law student hours.

New Procedure

For the safety and security of our guests and students, the library will be closing to the general public at 6pm, Monday through Friday. We will no longer offer weekend hours to members of the public. 

At 6pm, the front library doors will lock and all within the library will be asked to leave so the staff can do a sweep of the three floors. You will be asked to scan yourself back into the library with your student ID card. We also ask that you do not allow anyone behind you to enter without their ID. Please do not prop doors open.  

If you have any questions, please contact Ashley Sundin at sundin@gonzaga.edu or Sharalyn Williams at WilliamsS2@gonzaga.edu.

Pacific Gas and Electric   arbitration that became what was then the largest direct action settlement in U.S. history.  Beginning in 1992, Brockovich, with Masry's expertise and support, builds a case against the utility giant upon discovering evidence that PG&E covered-up their role in contaminating Hinkley, California's water supply with cancer-causing hexavalent chromium  decades before through their use of unlined wastewater disposal ponds.  Erin Brockovich currently holds an 84% on Rotten Tomatoes with the overall conse
