Summer Lexis and Westlaw access

Many of you will have uninterrupted access to the electronic services Lexis and Westlaw during the summer break. Here are specific breakdowns:

1Ls:
* LexisNexis may be used for "educational purposes," which includes your time at your non-profit externship. Your password should automatically work.
* Westlaw offers summer password extensions for "educational purposes" as well, which also includes non-profit externships for class credit. Log on to http://lawschool.westlaw.com/; there is a box "ad" on the right-hand side of the page that says "Need Westlaw This Summer? Extend Your Password NOW!" (This offer only good until July 31, so don't worry if you have a second-half externship.)

2Ls:
* LexisNexis appears to give you continued access for "educational purposes."
* Westlaw requires you to request a password extension for "educational purposes," such as a summer class, externship, law review, or faculty assistance. Log on to http://lawschool.westlaw.com/ for more information.

3Ls:
* LexisNexis offers access to graduating 3Ls until September 1, 2006. Your LexisNexis Ultimate Rewards Points must be redeemed before June 29, 2006.
* Westlaw should have already contacted you about a "graduate" password, which allows ten hours of access during bar preparation. Your original password will also allow you access to TWEN until August 1.
