-You will be able to print articles, decisions, and briefs off the internet in any of the computer rooms on campus. You will not be charged printing costs. The Information Commons in the lower floor of the library would be an excellent place to do your printing. Expect delays if several of you print at the same time. Delays can be alleviated by printing one copy and xeroxing additional copies.
