At last week's CALI conference, Laura Bergus moderated a panel discussion of social media best practices for law schools. She has compiled a Social Media Best Practices website, which includes Advice for Law Students. Students might want to read her suggestions.

Students who wish to use Westlaw and/or LexisNexis over the summer are required to request a password extension. Passwords that are not extended will be suspended. 

To extend a Westlaw password, go to www.lawschool.westlaw.com and log in. Click on the green box that asks "Need your Westlaw Password This Summer?" Follow the instructions for choosing the appropriate usage and click "Submit." If you have any questions, please contact Megan Jens (mjens01@hamline.edu) or the Westlaw rep, Bonnie Burnson (bburnson@thomsonreuters.com).

To extend a LexisNexis password, go to www.lexisnexis.com/lawschool and click "My School" and then choose "Summer Access to LexisNexis." You will need to register for summer full access through the Summer Access Registration link provided. If you have any questions, contact the LexisNexis rep, Jillian Kalogerson (jillian.kalogerson@lexisnexis.com).

Extend your password today!

Final exams begin Saturday, May 9. During the final exam period, May 9 - 21, the law library will be open from 7:30 a.m. until 2:00 a.m.

Once again, the law library staff will provide coffee and tea for students during the exam period. The coffee cart will be on the second level of the library from 8 a.m. until noon, and on the lower level from noon until 8 p.m. Enjoy!

We'd like to remind you to keep your personal belongings secure during finals, be courteous to your fellow students by treating the second level of the law library as a quiet study area, and keep those cell phones silent. Good luck on finals and have a great summer!
