Classrooms
Hazel Hall has six large, fully-equipped electronic classrooms (120, 121, 221, 225, 329, 332) that contain custom podiums with a built-in computer. Each podium is equipped with touch panel controls for computer projection, document camera, speakers, wireless microphones, a podium microphone, ceiling microphones, cameras, laptop hook-ups, and full Zoom capability.
There are seven smaller seminar rooms (222, 224, 347, 348, 412, 432C, and 433A) that are outfitted with technology including a smaller podium with a built-in computer, computer projector, laptop hook-ups, ceiling microphones, cameras, and Zoom capability. Rooms 224, 348, 412 and 432C also have document cameras. In addition, there are two seminar rooms in the Law Library (250 and 350). Both have built-in technology and room 250 also has Zoom capability. There is a fully-outfitted conference room with video conferencing and Zoom capability next to the Deans Suite (215) that is used primarily for special events and internal meetings.
See a detailed description of each classroom below.
Classroom Capture and Recording
The law school has a classroom capture system installed in rooms 120, 121, 215, 225, and 332 that enables faculty to record and stream video of their lectures, along with content (such as a PowerPoint) from the podium computer or a laptop. Faculty can also use special capture software on their personal computers or laptops to record a presentation for later viewing by students. Student organizations and law school departments can use the class capture system to record and stream their workshops and other events. For more information see Classroom Capture: Echo360.
Courtrooms
There are two courtrooms that contain technology: the Trial Courtroom (122) and the Win Whittaker Appellate Courtroom (123). Both courtrooms have video and audio recording equipment as well as podiums with computers, laptop connections and touch panel controls. Courtroom 122 also has a document camera.
Use of the courtrooms is restricted to law school classes and events sponsored by the Moot Court Board and the Trial Advocacy Association. Student organization leaders must sign access agreements to use the courtrooms outside of classes: Trial Courtroom Access Agreement and Appellate Courtroom Access Agreement .
