1L: Lexis & Westlaw training

1L Lexis and Westlaw training starts this Wednesday, September 1st and runs through Friday, September 17th. !L students received an email announcing the training sessions and there is the Ernester Announces poster in the hallway of the Law Library with the sessions schedules.

Lexis and Westlaw training is mandatory for all 1L students so you must attend one of these workshops. Attendance is taken.

The sign up book for the training sessions is at the Circulation Desk in the Law Library. There are restrictions on class size so be prepared to look for alternative days and times.

These are hands-on training sessions, so:

You must have registered and created your custom IDs with both Lexis and Westlaw. You must have your Custom IDs when you come to class.

If you sign up for a session in a class room, a laptop is necessary. You may bring a laptop to the sessions in the lower level computer lab or use one of the library's computers in the lab.
