Summer Access to Lexis & Westlaw

Taking summer classes? Doing an internship or working on law review? Act now to preserve your ability to use Westlaw & Lexis over the summer...

Lexis


Summer access registration is now open. Students should go to their law school home page and look for the picture/icon in the middle of the page that says “Register for Summer Access.” That link will take them to a page that explains the parameters of summer access and has a link to the actual registration page. In addition to school credit, research for a professor, and journal research, Lexis added a “Improve Research Skills” as a qualifying reason for summer access.

Westlaw

Procedures for summer access remain the same as last year. Students need to extend their access over the summer via the Westlaw home page.
