Question

Do I have summer access to Lexis, Westlaw, and Bloomberg?

I'm working for a law firm this summer and want to know if I still have access to Lexis and Westlaw over the summer.

Answer

The paid databases have different allowances for summer access depending on the database and your summer employment.

Lexis

Every student with a registered Lexis Advance ID will automatically has summer access and can use Lexis Advance for educational and commercial purposes.

Westlaw

L&C Law students may use Westlaw during the summer, as long as it relates to one or more of the following:

  • Summer coursework

  • Research assistant assignments

  • Law review or journal research

  • Moot court research

  • Non-profit work

  • Clinical work

  • Externship sponsored by L&C

Note: Passwords may NOT be used for your work for law firms, government agencies, corporations, or other purposes unrelated to law school coursework. 

Bloomberg

Students have full access to Bloomberg Law during the summer with no restrictions on use.

Also, don't forget about our other databases, like Heinonline and ProQuest, that are available year round.
