Westlaw
Returning Students
You may use your Westlaw account through the summer for noncommercial research, such as law school activities, research assistant assignments, work for a nonprofit, or in an unpaid internship.
Graduates
Graduates can register for Westlaw’s Graduate Elite Program, which provides for six months of access after graduation. Graduates also have access to the Knowledge Center eLearnings and tutorials for 18 months after graduation.
In order to extend access you will need to opt into GRAD ELITE by logging into www.lawschool.tr.com. Use the drop-down menu by your name to go to GRAD ELITE Status or go directly to https://lawschool.westlaw.com/authentication/gradelite.
