Eligibility is generally limited to third-year law students. Any students who commute over 50 miles and those who have small children (under age twelve) living with them may be eligible for special parking. First- and second-year students who think they may qualify should see Darlene Branch in Withers-Brown Hall, Room WB324 for more information.
