Academic use of WESTLAW and LEXIS databases at CWSL

CWSL Library reminds students that by registering and activating their WESTLAW and LEXIS accounts they are agreeing to abide by each company's respective user agreements. 

Students are responsible for reading each agreement carefully to understand the parameters under which they may use the LEXIS and WESTLAW databases.  These parameters include, but are not limited to:

• Use is authorized only while enrolled as a student at CWSL

• Authorized use is for educational purposes only, related to CWSL coursework

• Use is non-transferable, i.e. students may not allow other people to use their WESTLAW or LEXIS accounts

• Downloading and/or transferring data from these services is limited by the agreement
