During orientation the Law Library promises to support students throughout their professional careers. At graduation the University welcomed you as sons and daughters of Georgetown. Alumni are very important library patrons.

On-Campus Resources

Georgetown Law invites you to visit the law library, one of the largest legal research facilities in the nation.  Graduates enjoy lifetime free access to both Library locations.

While on campus graduates can use almost all of the library's online databases. Please Note: The Library's licenses to Westlaw, Lexis, and Bloomberg Law limits access to the current Georgetown Law community.  As an alternative, graduates on campus may use Fastcase, a powerful full-text legal research tool and LexisNexis Academic which offers U.S. Federal and state case law, codes, regulations, legal news, law reviews, international legal information and Shepards Citations for all U.S. Supreme Court cases back to 1789.

Also on-campus, alumni can enjoy free access to the Law Center's Wi-Fi Network. To gain access to our network, simply follow the Law Center's online directions or contact the Reference Desk.
