Summer Use of Westlaw, Lexis, and Bloomberg Law

Summer Use of Westlaw, Lexis, and Bloomberg Law

Both continuing students and Spring 2020 graduates can continue to access Westlaw, Lexis Advance, and Bloomberg Law. Here is a breakdown of what, if anything, you need to do to make that happen:

Westlaw

  • Continuing students may continue to access Westlaw for non-commercial purposes through the summer, and unlike last year you do not need to take any steps for this access. Permissible uses include coursework, summer research assistant assignments, law journal research, and other academic work.
  • Graduating students can extend access through Westlaw's Grad Elite program for 60 hours per month for 18 months. You you can find more information here. If you have further questions, please contact our Westlaw rep, Elan Kleis.

Lexis Advance

  • Continuing students may use Lexis Advance throughout the summer.
  • Graduating students will have full access to Lexis Advance for six months after graduation. If you have further questions, please contact our Lexis rep, Samantha Israel.

Bloomberg Law

  • Continuing students may use Bloomberg Law for any purpose throughout the summer.
  • Graduating students will have unrestricted access to Bloomberg Law for an entire year, until June 1, 2021.
