Training & Orientation for Tax Law LL.Ms

The library offers extensive orientation and training programs, as well as research guides for Tax Law LL.M. students.

The reference librarians offer Library Tours and Introductions to Law School Computing and opportunities for LexisNexis and Westlaw training.

LexisNexis and Westlaw passwords, provided in orientation packets, may be used for all law school related research. Students also receive access to BU's computing resources.

All BU Law students have access to research guides for U.S., international, and foreign law research. Our Tax Law Research Guide focuses on those sources especially helpful for students in the Tax Law LL.M. program. Beyond our research guides, an experienced reference staff is available to assist you seven days a week.
