1L Westlaw & Lexis Training

The Basic Westlaw training classes for 1L students will be the week of September 13-17, 2010 and the Basic Lexis training classes will be the week of September 20-24, 2010. Sign up online at each vendor's website. You will need to bring your passwords and laptops to class. Each class is approximately 50 minutes long. Attendance will be taken and given to your LP professor.

These classes provide the foundation skills for Westlaw & Lexis research that you will build upon during the year and throughout your time in law school. Learning to use both systems well (and cost effectively) is a good marketing tool when you start applying for clerking jobs so take advantage of the opportunity to develop these skills.

If you miss these trainings, please stop by the vendor tables outside of the Library on the second floor to make an individual appointment with a student rep. After your training, the student rep will notify your LP professor of your attendance.
