Law Library Services: Alumni

Contact our research librarians for suggestions on access to the information you need, as well as contacting our local county law libraries. See below for contact information and chat links. Our alums are welcome to make use of our online Zoom study rooms for their group Bar Exam preparation. Find more information and reservation links at lawlib.lclark.edu/studyrooms.

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 to use on campus. Licensing agreements restrict off-campus access to currently enrolled students, faculty, and staff. Off-campus access is not available to alumni. Among these are BarBooks, Fastcase, HeinOnline, and ProQuest. 

Recently graduated law students have limited continued access to Bloomberg, Lexis, and Westlaw for 6 months:

BLOOMBERG LAW

Take advantage of the expertise of the research librarians after you graduate! Call, chat with, or email research librarians with research questions. They will be happy to provide suggestions for sources and tips for both online searching as well as efficient use of the Boley Law Library collection. Also, don't forget to bookmark the library's website for its extensive collection of links for online legal research as well as access to the library catalog. If you wish to make a reference appointment with one of our librarians, please email the law library with current contact information so a Zoom reference appointment can be set up for you.
