Westlaw, Lexis, CALI & Loislaw Summer Access

By Leslie A. Pardo

WESTLAW:  You will have continued use of your Westlaw password during the summer (for educational purposes only). During the months of June and July you are allotted two hours of usage per month. To extend your Westlaw password beyond those two hours, fill out the summer extension access form at http://www.lawschool.westlaw.com.

To qualify for a password extension, you must be enrolled in summer classes, working as a law professor’s research assistant, or doing work for a journal or moot court. Internships or externships that are associated with a class or paper project are also included. For specific questions, please contact christi.klein@thomson.com.

LEXIS:  To extend full LexisNexis access privileges during the summer you will need to register using this Summer Access Registration link. You must certify your legitimate use over the summer to be granted full access. One of the conditions listed below must be met. If you do not register, your LexisNexis law school ID will be limited to only career materials as of June 1, 2007. Graduating students will have summer access privileges extended to August 1, 2007.
