Westlaw and LexisNexis Training for First-Year Law Students

Westlaw training for first-year law students begins on Sunday morning, September 21. Sign onto Westlaw with your personal ID and password (which you created with the activation code distributed during orientation). Then click on "Training Calendar" under the heading "Support" next to the photo of Adriana Mark, our Westlaw representative. Multiple times are available to accommodate your busy schedules. Remember to sign the attendance sheet at your session so that your Legal Process professor knows that you attended a mandatory session.

LexisNexis group training sessions ended on this Friday. To schedule a make-up session, contact our LexisNexis representative, Natasha Dasani. Just sign onto Lexis Nexis using your personal ID and password (which you created with the activation code distributed during orientation). Then, click on "My School." The contact information for Natasha will appear on the screen.

Links to the law school portals of Westlaw and LexisNexis are available on the library's homepage at http://www.tourolaw.edu/library. The law school portals will take you directly to the information you need as a law student researcher. You may wish to bookmark the library's web page or to place an icon on your desktop for easy access. Happy searching!
