Prepare to Practice Research Refresher

Have a great experience this summer!  Get tips for success and research highlights that will help you make the most of your employment.  We will cover planning your research, important questions to ask, how to keep a file, legislative history, administrative law, and non-legal resources.  Thursday, May 15th, 1:00-3:00 pm in Room 275.  Please direct questions to rebecca-lutkenhaus@uiowa.edu.

LexisNexis and Westlaw Summer Access

Student Lexis IDs and Westlaw passwords will become inactive over the summer.  However, if you will be enrolled in law school classes or engaging in law school related research activities for moot court, law review, or an RA position, or if you will be graduating and studying for the bar exam, you are eligible to extend your passwords through the summer months.  To extend your Lexis ID, go to http://www.lexisnexis.com/lawschool/help/saccess.asp and complete the registration process.  To extend your Westlaw password, sign on at https://lawschool.westlaw.com and look for the banner ad reminding you to register for an extension.  Please complete this process before June 1.

Extended Hours

The Law Library has extended hours during Spring semester finals.

Student Printing Workstation

A computer workstation has been installed in the carrel immediately outside the Law Library’s print lab so that law students may quickly print documents when the computer lab is closed for a class. Log-on to the workstation with your HawkID username and password to print to any of the Law Library’s networked printers. Print jobs are debited from student printing accounts so it is essential to log-off the computer when you are through printing. If you need a computer for word processing or research purposes while the computer lab is closed for a class, please use a ground floor carrel; check out a key at the Circulation Desk to use one of those carrels.
