Announcing a new Library Guide – Federal Law

Use free websites to find federal law. The Federal Law library guide has links for statutes, regulations, cases, legislative history information and historical documents (Federalist Papers, Records of the Continental Congress, etc.). “Search the Legal Web” tab covers a variety of specialized legal search engines that will help you find additional free resources on the web.

Here is the direct link to the guide. See all of our library guides, as well as the Ohio Law guide, here.

If you are on the Law Library web page, click on Library Guides in the left menu.

Keep your profiles up-to-date on Westlaw and LexisNexis

At least once-a-year law students should update their profiles on LexisNexis and Westlaw. Check your e-mail address and make sure it is the correct address. The faculty may use the e-mail function in TWEN or Lexis Web Course to send e-mail to their students, but if your address is not correct, you will not receive the e-mail. Also, verify your graduation date. You do not want your passwords to expire prematurely.

Here is how you can update your profile on Westlaw and Lexis.

For Westlaw: Log into Westlaw http://lawschool.westlaw.com/ and on the left side of the page next to your name is the UPDATE link. Click on that link to update your profile.

For LexisNexis: Log into LexisNexis http://www.lexisnexis.com/lawschool/ and click on the HELP tab. At the next screen, click on UPDATE REGISTRATION INFORMATION.
