Bearing the name of the University and its emblem (also in hologram form), Charles University (CU) student cards serve as evidence of the holder's relation to Charles University and to one of its faculties or other parts whose name is printed on the card. These chip cards, issued in several colour-differentiated types, contain personal data, a bar code, a photograph and a signature strip.

All users have to (before going through the electronic gate) put their coats and bags into a locker. The keys to the lockers are available at the service desk on the student’s card.

Every student of the Law Faculty of the Charles University in Prague in possession of a student’s card can be registered in the Library. This card serves also as a library card and enables its owner to borrow and return books. More information about the registration is available at the information desk.

Students of the Law Faculty can borrow books and other documents from the Library collection as:

• Standard / faculty loan (home)
• In-house loan (only in the Library)

It is possible to borrow:

• books – books with green labels can be borrowed as charge-out loans, books with RED LABELS ONLY AS IN-HOUSE LOANS
• journals – in house use only
• textbooks – both charge out and in-house use
• theses (final theses of graduated students, JUDr. and Ph.D. doctoral dissertations) – only in-house use, the online version is in the Charles University Digital Repository

Complete information about documents in the Library collection (information about the location, possibilities of borrowing, etc.) is available in the discovery service UKAŽ.
