Continued Access to Lexis, Westlaw, and Bloomberg
Many students are aware that
Lexis and Westlaw are great job search tools, but wrongly assume that their
access to those resources is gone when they graduate. Spring 2013 grads can
continue their Westlaw access through November 2013 by clicking here. If you need
further assistance with Westlaw, email GGU’s Westlaw representative Mark at mark.cygnet@thomsonreuters.com. To extend
Lexis access through Dec. 31, 2013, click here. If you need further assistance with
Lexis, email GGU’s Lexis representative Alyce at alyce.perry@lexisnexis.com. As a reminder, by
extending GGU Westlaw and Lexis, you are agreeing to use them solely for
educational, law review, and job searching purposes. Bloomberg Law
access automatically continues for law school graduates after graduation until
the middle of December. Unlike Westlaw and Lexis, Bloomberg access may also be
used for commercial purposes.
If you want more information
about how to use these online legal research tools to find a job, come hear
Research Librarian Jodi Collova describe how to take full advantage of them to
land your next job interview and go in ready! Thursday, November 7, 5:30 to 6:30 pm in room 2321.
Continued Use of GGU’s Law Library
GGU’s Law Library is a great place to conduct research, get advice
from knowledgeable librarians, and prepare job search materials. Although your GGU school ID won’t open the gate, GGU Alumni may still use the law library free of charge for two years following graduation with an Alumni Library Card. Alumni who graduated over two years ago may purchase an Alumni Library Card for $25 per year. Use of the law library includes access to databases from the public terminals, and access to the reading room and study spaces. Email alumni@ggu.edu for a card to be mailed to you, or bring a completed application form (pdf) to the law library’s circulation desk.
Continued Access to GGU Career Counseling Services
Law Career Services counselors and materials remain available to alumni after graduation. Services
include:
- Career counseling in person and over the telephone
- Resume and cover letter review services
- Job search resources, including workshops
- Reciprocity with other ABA law school career services offices for job searches outside of the Bay Area
- Access to LCSonline job posting site
- Law Career Services books, videotapes, and computers
For information, visit Law Career Services or e-mail lawcareer@ggu.edu.
