Law Firms, In-House and General Counsels, Individual Attorneys, Government Agencies, and Non-Profit Organizations may apply for an annual membership in the Law Library Membership Program, July 1 to June 30, with pro-rated fees after August 1.  Law Center Alumni do not need to join the Law Library Membership Program to access the Law Library. See the Who May Use the Law Library page for more information.

Program members enjoy access to the Law Library’s on-site collection and may obtain basic, on-site reference assistance.  Members may also use many of the databases available through the Law Library’s on-site public computers, though several databases (including Bloomberg Law, LexisNexis, and Westlaw) remain restricted only to the use of our students and faculty. Members are not eligible for any borrowing privileges or remote access to databases. Members are expected to adhere to all policies covered on the Law Library’s General Policies website. The Law Library reserves the right to modify or terminate this agreement at any time.
