Access to Lexis will continue during the summer.  As long as you are registered for Lexis you do not have to do anything to continue using Lexis Advance this summer.  You may use Lexis for work or school during the summer.  In the fall, usage reverts back to academic use only.

Summer Access to Westlaw – NOTE THE CHANGE FROM LAST YEAR
You can use Thomson Reuters products, including Westlaw and Practical Law, over the summer for non-commercial research.

Examples of permissible uses for your academic password include the following:
• Summer coursework
• Research assistant assignments

• Moot Court research
• Non-Profit work
• Clinical work
