Second and Third-year students,as well as Faculty who still have a Lexis.com account will be able to continue using that service until all the Lexis features (Shepard's) have been moved over to the new platform.

    All Law students receive their own personal password for the LexisNexis Quicklaw service for use during the three years of law school. As part of first-year orientation, library staff arrange for lab sessions to take students through the steps of getting a LexisNexis Quicklaw password. Training is also provided as part of LRWA. If you do not have a password, please speak to a lab supervisor or Elizabeth Bruton (219-F).
