Summer Access

Westlaw Summer Access

Need to use Westlaw this summer? You will need to register your student ID for summer access. To register, sign onto www.lawschool.westlaw.com. There will be a green block on the right lower portion of the page that says “Need Your Westlaw Password This Summer?” Click on the box that says “Go” and follow the instructions.

Students may register at any point during the summer. If a student does not register for summer access, access to Westlaw via student ID will be limited to two hours per month for the duration of the summer.

For graduating students, access will cease on May 24 th except for job-searching capabilities, which will be available for one year after graduation.  Students have the option to extend their full access through July for bar preparation purposes.

Summer access is available for educational purposes only. Educational purposes include summer classes, law review, research for faculty, moot court research, and unpaid externships.
