Representatives from Bloomberg Law, Westlaw, and LexisNexis are offering training sessions for W&L Law students in the upcoming weeks. All 1Ls, 2Ls, and 3Ls are welcome to attend any of the sessions listed below.
Lexis sessions will be in-person at the Law School (lunch served), while Bloomberg Law and Westlaw sessions will be held via Zoom. Each is scheduled for 30 minutes. Multiple identical sessions may be offered on each topic; sessions with the same title at different times will cover the same information.
