Westlaw Transitioning to New Log-in System
Over the next few months Westlaw will be transitioning to a new log-in system they call OnePass. At the end of the transition period Westlaw will no longer permit users to log-in with their alphanumeric Westlaw passwords. Instead, all users will need to create and use a personal username and password for log-in purposes. Users who already log-in with a personal username and password may be asked to create a new username and password that meets Westlaw’s enhanced security standards. All usernames and passwords must meet the following criteria:
USERNAME
Must be 8-70 characters long
Must contain at least two of the following attributes:
- Uppercase letters
- Lowercase letters
- Numbers
- One of these symbols: @ . - _
Cannot contain spaces or your alphanumeric Westlaw password
PASSWORD
Must be 8-16 characters long
Must contain at least three of the following attributes:
- Uppercase letters
- Lowercase letters
- Numbers
- One of these symbols: @ . - _
Cannot contain spaces or your email address
In addition to selecting a username and password, users will be asked to select a security question and provide an answer for it.
You will automatically be prompted to select a username and password that meets the OnePass requirements when you log into Westlaw. To prevent future interruptions to your Westlaw access, please take a few moments to update your log-in information as soon as possible. If your username and password already satisfy the OnePass requirements you will not need to take any further action.
Need access to Chinese legal materials? Check out iSinoLaw
iSinoLaw lets you search or browse a wide range of primary legal materials from the People’s Republic of China. Documents appear in the original Chinese but English translations are available for many, and researchers can view the Chinese and English versions side by side using the database’s bilingual split screen feature. Content includes the laws of the National People’s Congress and Standing Committee of the NPC back to 1979, rules of the Supreme People’s Court back to 1949, Chinese Communist Party documents back to 1976, international treaties to which the PRC is a party back to 1994, court judgments back to the early 1990s, State Council administrative regulations back to 1951, arbitral awards back to the 1980s, and China’s WTO accession documentation. iSinoLaw also provides access to secondary information on the PRC’s court system, legal system, and sample forms they call contract precedents in English. Researchers can also take a topical approach by accessing materials through the “specialized section” tab. Access iSinoLaw through the Law Library’s Electronic Resources page or directly at http://proxy.lib.uiowa.edu/login?qurl=http://www.isinolaw.com/isinolaw/english/index.jsp.
