LexisNexis, Westlaw, and Bloomberg Law access over the summer

Please read below for details on accessing Lexis, Westlaw, and Bloomberg Law over the summer.

Rising 2Ls and 3Ls: At the end of June, academic passwords for current students will default to 40 hours for the month of July, even if a student does nothing to extend.

Westlaw does allow students to extend their current access in specific instances, which you can do by going to http://lawschool.westlaw.com/registration/SummerExtension.aspx. Allowable usages for extending include:

Graduating 3Ls: Students graduating this spring get 5 hours of access in July, even if a student does nothing to extend, to help study for the bar.

For help or more information, contact the Law School’s Westlaw Account Manager Ben Segreto at ben.segreto@thomsonreuters.com.

Rising 2Ls and 3Ls: Returning students will have full access to Lexis Advance during the summer without special registration, but not Lexis.com.

Graduating 3Ls: Graduates have full Lexis Advance access through July 31, 2013, but not Lexis.com. For help or more information, contact your LexisNexis Account Executive, Nikki Harris at nikki.harris@lexisnexis.com.

Rising 2Ls and 3Ls: Bloomberg Law provides unlimited and unrestricted access over the summer. There is no need to register, as your student account will remain active and available all summer.
