Westlaw Precision Login

Our subscription to Westlaw now allows for a limited number of simultaneous users. User accounts will be of shorter-duration allowing us to rotate individuals over the course of a semester.  All individuals must now request access through the SJU Libraries, create a user login, and sign into the system for access.

To request access, please click on this link and fill out the request form. 

You will receive an email with instructions to authenticate as an SJU user and to create a user account that you can use to access the platform.
