Students automatically receive access to Lexis+ with their law school IDs during the summer – May, June, and July. Students do not have to take any action to gain access. Their law school IDs can be used for any purpose over the summer, but students should check with their employers first. Some employers would rather students use their firm IDs rather than their law school IDs for billing purposes.
Recent Graduates
May 2021 graduates will continue to have access to Lexis+ (except for Public Records) through the end of the calendar year. Please redeem your LexisNexis Rewards Points by June 30.
Current Students
