Winter Grads: Post-Graduation Use of Lexis Advance, Westlaw, and Bloomberg Law

You still have access to these great databases for some time after graduation!

Westlaw

See this brief video:  3 Things for 3-Ls on Westlaw by our Westlaw rep, Sam Berbano.  The video shows how to: get post-graduate access to Westlaw, easily download your folder contents and use Westlaw to pass the bar.

Graduating students can extend Westlaw access for 6 months after graduation by registering for Grad Elite at https://lawschool.westlaw.com/registration/gradelite.aspx.  Registered graduates will retain full Westlaw access for a total of 60 hours.  If you fail to extend your password you are restricted to 10 hours per month and it will expire earlier.  All graduates will also automatically retain access to lawschool.westlaw.com and a number of career-related databases (on Profiler)  for 12 months following graduation.  Please contact our West Account Manager, Sam Berbano, samuel.berbano@thomsonreuters.com if you have any questions.
