Summer Access to the Law Library: Westlaw

A guide to using the law library and services over the summer.

Summer Access

You can use Thomson Reuters products, including Westlaw, Practical Law, and the Practice Ready solutions, over the summer for non-commercial research. You can turn to these resources to gain understanding and build confidence in your research skills, but you cannot use them in situations where you are billing a client. Examples of permissible uses for your academic password include the following:
 
Summer coursework
Research assistant assignments
Law Review or Journal research
Moot Court research
Non-Profit work
Clinical work
Externship sponsored by the school
 
You do not have to do anything to gain access to these tools over the summer. If you have any questions, please contact  Thomson Reuters Academic Account Manager Mark Frongillo, Esq. mark.frongillo@thomsonreuters.com.
