GW Law's Rare Reading Room features tables and chairs and glass-enclosed books in shelves.

The Rare Book Reading Room is connected to the north end of the Tasher Great Room. The Burns Law Library has one of the largest collections of rare legal materials in the country, with an emphasis on continental law. The library?s collection of books, manuscripts and pamphlets printed before 1800 are frequently used by scholars from around the country. Its collection of French materials is particularly impressive, and volumes focusing on early French customary law are housed in the Rare Book Reading Room.
