Would you like summer access to LexisNexis and Westlaw, even if you’re graduating and studying for the bar? No worries, if you meet the eligibility requirements, it can be done!

For LexisNexis, all eligible students (including graduating students) should register before June 1st. To do so, after logging on to LexisNexis, click on the box in the middle column of information when it displays “Summer Access...” At the next page, click on “Summer Access Registration.” At the next page, complete the required information and indicate your legitimate reason for summer access. Legitimate reasons are: Summer School, School-Related Research Assignment, Moot Court Research, Law Review or Journal Research, Working as a Professor’s Research Assistant, Non-Profit Externship, Unpaid Internship/Externship, and Bar Review.

For Westlaw, non-graduating eligible students should register before June 1st. To do so, after logging on to Westlaw, click on “Learn More” in the “Does your summer forecast call for Westlaw?” box in the middle column of information. At the next page, indicate your legitimate reason for summer access. Legitimate reasons are: Summer law school classes, Law Review and Journal work, Project for a professor, Moot Court, and Unpaid non-profit public interest internship/externship or pro bono work required for graduation. Graduating students should have already received an email from Westlaw notifying them of their eligibility for five hours of access in both June and July (ie, a total of ten hours). Within this email you are asked to complete a survey to register for access. Please note! If you have received such an email from Westlaw and are not graduating, click on the link provided in the email to notify Westlaw of its error.
