L&C Law Alumni have lifetime borrowing privileges. As a graduate of the law school you have full circulation privileges and may check-out regularly circulating library materials. Make sure to get your Lewis & Clark Law School Alumni card from the Alumni office. The first time you check out materials as an Alum you will need to show your Alumni card and update your library record. Services do not include interlibrary loan or access to Summit borrowing.
The Library subscribes to several legal research databases which are free from on-campus. Among these are BarBooks, Fastcase, HeinOnline, and ProQuest. During the pandemic we are happy to do our best to gain access from off-campus to these materials. Contact a law librarian for assistance.
