Don’t forget to register if you want to use your student legal research accounts over the summer! Note that Lexis and Westlaw both have restrictions on what kind of work you can do with your student accounts – read the terms and conditions carefully.
- Lexis: Go to lexisnexis.com/lawschool and log in, then click “2012 Summer Access.” Follow the instructions to get access to Lexis Advance for the summer. (Note that a form to ask for summer access to regular lexis.com might be available later this month.)
- Westlaw: Go to lawschool.westlaw.com/shared/marketinfodisplay.asp?code=MI&id=322 and choose either “Current Student” or “Graduating Student,” whichever applies to you.
- Bloomberg Law (a new option for 2012). Use
this google formthis form to request a student ID for Bloomberg Law, a newer research platform. (Bloomberg registration is different; it can take a few days to process a request for a new password.)
