The Law Department’s specialist library is among the best-equipped in the Federal Republic of Germany. It is highly valued and widely used by law students not only from Freie Universität Berlin but also from other universities. In addition to the specialist library (including parent-child rooms), the department has three large lecture halls and numerous seminar rooms, a cafeteria and a student cafe (Café Tatort).

The department buildings are surrounded by a green park landscape and are just a three-minute walk from the university canteen and the Henry-Ford-Building, which houses the main lecture hall and the central university library. The campus is accessible via the nearby "Freie Universität / Thielplatz" metro station on the U3 line, which passes through the districts Steglitz, Schöneberg, Kreuzberg, Neukölln and Friedrichshain.
