The W&L Law Library is pleased to provide the University community with access to the Thomson Reuters ProView eBooks platform.

Our new ProView subscription includes over 140 major legal treatises and analytical publications, court rules, topical codes, practice guides (such as Virginia Practice), and more. Many jurisdictional and practice area-specific titles are also available. Materials are presented as paginated reproductions of print versions, and can be highlighted, annotated, bookmarked, and downloaded in PDF for offline use. Free apps for iOS and Android also allow full access on mobile devices.

W&L Law community members with Westlaw access may log in using their Thomson Reuters OnePass ID, from the menu at the top of the TR Law School page. Non-law W&L community members should visit https://proview.thomsonreuters.com while on campus or follow this link for access off campus.

W&L Law Library is pleased to announce access to Westlaw China, Thomson Reuters’ premier platform for legal, business, and news information relating to China.

Westlaw China offers primary and secondary Chinese legal materials compiled by attorney editors to help you understand key legal issues and news. Legal content is updated daily, while news/current awareness content is updated several times daily to provide up-to-date information. Content is available in both English and Mandarin Chinese.

To access Westlaw China, visit www.westlawchina.com while on the W&L campus network. When using mobile devices or off campus, log-in with your WLU credentials is required.

Before exploring, you might consult the official Westlaw China Introduction and User Guide documents online. For in-person guidance, feel free to reach out to a librarian at LawRef@wlu.edu.

Legal Research Certification 2019 Materials Now Online

If you weren’t able to make it to the event on 3/16 (the best attended ever!), or if you were there but want a refresher, you can review materials from the program online at https://libguides.wlu.edu/summersuccess2019.

There you’ll find video recordings of each of the day’s presentations and panel discussions, including the presenters’ slides via Tegrity. Also included are links to handouts and lesson plans, and to many of the online resources that were discussed in the sessions on dockets, practice materials, and more.

Please note that the guide is password protected in order to restrict access to the W&L Law community. Law students may find the password here (alphabetically under Spring Into Summer Success).

We hope you’ll find the online guide helpful, both as you’re preparing for your job now and when you’re working this summer. Please remember that your librarians are here and happy to help as we’re able. You may reach out to any of us individually or at our general reference email address, LawRef@wlu.edu.
