LexisNexis & Westlaw: Training & Passwords             For Law Students
 
Training

Please sign up for classes in advance. The schedule for 1L training sessions will be posted on each company's Web site. Schedules and sign-up sheets for upper division and graduate student training sessions will be posted in the notebook on the desk outside Lenley Computer Lab, located in the library's sub-basement under Sullivan Street. The training schedules will also be posted on the Calendar on the library's home page. 

Student representatives will keep scheduled office hours throughout the year outside the Lenley Computer Lab, to answer questions and provide refresher training sessions as needed.

Passwords

Each system requires a password. The library provides passwords for NYU School of Law faculty, staff and students, for educational purposes only. Passwords will be available from the LexisNexis and Westlaw representatives at special tables set up in the Main Reading Room for several weeks early in the semester, or, when they are not here, from the student representatives who staff the desk outside Lenley Computer Lab.

J.D. 1Ls will receive their passwords in their first Lawyering class.

J.D. 2Ls & 3Ls should have active passwords from previous years. Please update your registration information online (see below). Refresher training sessions are available upon request from the student representatives.

Transfer & Non-matriculated students must obtain a new password at NYU School of Law, at the tables or outside Lenley Lab. Passwords from your former law school may work temporarily, but your print jobs will be delivered to the laser printer at your former school. Refresher training sessions are available upon request from the student representatives.

Tax LL.M.s will receive passwords during specialized training sessions in tax-related databases that will begin early in the fall semester (schedule to be announced). Passwords will also be available at the tables, or outside Lenley Lab.

Non-Tax LL.M.s will receive passwords during training sessions that begin in mid-September (schedule to be announced). Passwords will also be available at the tables, or outside Lenley Lab.

Foreign-trained LL.M.s will receive passwords during training sessions (schedule to be announced), at the tables, or outside Lenley Lab.

Your passwords must be registered or updated with LN and WL.
