Practical Research and Writing Resources Guide

A curated list of practical resources for FYSIP, Accelerator-to-Practice, and Legal Process and Practice.

Westlaw Summer Policy

You can use Thomson Reuters products, including Westlaw®, Practical Law, and the Practice Ready solutions, over the summer for non-commercial research. You can turn to these resources to gain understanding and build confidence in your research skills, but you cannot use them in situations where you are billing a client. Examples of permissible uses for your academic password include the following:

  • Summer coursework
  • Research assistant assignments
  • Law Review or Journal research
  • Moot Court research
  • Non-Profit work
  • Clinical work
  • Externship sponsored by the school

You do not have to do anything to gain access to these tools over the summer. If you have any questions, please contact Mark Frongillo, Esq, Academic Team Lead, Thomson Reuters Law Schools, mark.frongillo@thomsonreuters.com
