Question

How do I access Westlaw?

I'm trying to access Westlaw, but I'm being prompted to enter a username and password. I entered my LC username and password, but that didn't work. Can you help?

Answer

Westlaw (and LexisNexis and Bloomberg Law) does not use your LC email.  You must register a Thomson Reuters OnePass account in order to access Westlaw.  OnePass registration is available for L&C Law students, faculty, and staff. 

You will receive an email directly from Thomson Reuters with a registration key.  If you have not received this email, let us know and we will initiate a new email. 

To create an account using the registration key, go to this website: lawschool.thomsonreuters.com/register/

  • Enter your first name, your last name, your preferred email address, and the registration key that was provided to you as a PDF directly from Thomson Reuters.  The registration key is a combination of letters and numbers and is unique to you.
  • Click Start Registration.
  • You'll then complete your OnePass profile and your law school profile and then your registration will be complete.

If you need an account or have other issues with Westlaw please contact a law librarian (options include visiting the reference desk, chat, email, and more). We can help troubleshoot your access issues, assist with searching, and advise on the best tool for your task.
