Training and Orientation Programs for LexisNexis and Westlaw

The library coordinates dozens of classes each year for the two major computer aided legal research products. Incoming OneLs, American Law LL.Ms, Banking Law LL.Ms, and Tax Law LL.Ms receive introductory training as well as follow up programs designed for their research needs.

Law Journal Members and Research Assistants receive advanced training to assist in the specialized research tasks that their positions require. Students preparing for summer jobs will also find multiple opportunities for refresher, advanced, and cost-effective research training. In addition to program related training, both LexisNexis and Westlaw provide certification, subject-specific and job searching training.

Westlaw and LexisNexis academic representatives teach the classes, organize informational sessions, and provide assistance to students. Student representatives are also available in the computer labs to assist students with questions. Reference librarians, online live help, and phone assistance are also available.

See the LexisNexis or Westlaw pages for B.U. Law for a full listing of available training sessions.
