Legal Research Tips

If you're trying to access combined journals and law reviews on Westlaw, try the "LAWREV-PRO" database instead of the "JLR" database. (Thanks to instructor Brian Craig for the tip!)

If you don't have a Westlaw password this quarter, you can also find journal and law review articles in LexisNexis Academic database and Gale LegalTrac database.

LexisNexis Academic Library Database Errors

LexisNexis Academic is continuing to have some errors when you try to access it from off campus. I'm working with them to try to fix the problem.

In the meantime, try this solution:

Go back to the library databases page (using the back button in the same browser window) and click on the LexisNexis link again.

I hope this problem was not too frustrating for you. I know it's not working correctly, but I hope to have it working well soon.
Thank you for your patience.
