Rising 2Ls, 3Ls, and 4Ls

You have unlimited access to your Bloomberg Law and Lexis accounts to do research over the summer, whether for a paid position, a paper, a professor, a co-curricular, an externship, or a non-profit. Check with your employer on their policy first. Docket limits for Bloomberg Law apply as during the school year. Contact Iantha Haight with questions about docket usage.

Westlaw does not allow use for paid client work. You may use Westlaw when doing work for a non-profit, an externship, a co-curricular, a professor, or to read background information on a legal topic that you will be involved with during your paid position.

You continue to have remote access to library databases like HeinOnline, Cheetah, AILALink, the Making of Modern Law, ProQuest Legislative and Congressional Insight, LexisNexis Digital Library, and Almanac of the Federal Judiciary. Contact Iantha Haight with questions about databases. You are welcome to contact the reference desk during the summer for help with research and accessing materials.
