Printing

Westlaw provides two laser printers that law students may use to print information from the Westlaw research system. The printers are located in the Law Library print lab (Room 126). Print jobs sent to these printers are not debited against student printing accounts.

Westlaw print jobs are sorted alphabetically by last name and filed in the cabinets located between the LexisNexis and Westlaw printers in the print lab. All jobs are dated and will be recycled if not picked up within three days of printing.

Please be conscientious and pay attention to the size of the documents that you are printing. If you inadvertently send a large print job, you may cancel it by contacting Westlaw via the dedicated phone line located in the print lab. If one of the Westlaw printers is experiencing a technical problem, such as a paper jam or low toner levels, please report the problem to the Westlaw student representative on duty. If a student representative is unavailable, report the problem to a Student Computing staff member.
