Lexis PSL

You can find useful practitioner information on English legal topics in Lexis PSL, available for Warwick students and staff when you log on to Lexis Library. To find it, move your cursor to LexisNexis Services, at the top left, then pick Lexis PSL from the drop-down menu. After that, it is worth the hike... click Academic sign-in, then select UK Access Management Federation, and finally pick University of Warwick, then you are in! Could be useful when you are on a placement, and when you are preparing for interview.

Lexis student website – Law Campus

Writing about web page http://lexisweb.co.uk/lawcampus

Don't miss the Lexis Law Campus website! Features include "Ask a trainer" and useful background information on the Law, plus tips on using Lexis Library effectively. You will also find the option to gain Lexis certification - take the test for this on your own, or with help from the Lexis Student Associate Phillipine Wiegand-Forson. This will help you to use Lexis for research, and will also demonstrate your skills to future employers or if you are seeking a placement.

As with the other database (!), I hope to arrrange a few more sessions with a Lexis trainer later this term, and will advertise them to everyone in due course.

Also useful when on a placement - log on to Lexis and view "LexisNexis services" at the top left, and "Lexis PSL". This provides useful current awareness and practice notes on a wide range of areas of law.

I've discovered an online guide to mooting, developed as part of the Lawbore site at City University Law School, London. It may be worth a look!

Printing or downloading Lexis articles

If you have any difficulty in printing, downloading or e-mailing material from Lexis Library, it may be due to pop-ups being blocked by your computer. Look out for a message about this on the screen - it is easy to ask for pop-ups to be permitted permanently on this website, and after that there should be no further problem.

Please also be aware that Lexis limits the number of items which may be downloaded from one search to 10. Other databases may also be monitored by the companies providing them, so for example it is not allowed to download one or more e-books in entirety on the same day! Normal downloading is fine, and it is rare for problems to be reported to us, but in extreme cases a company can cut us off without warning and tell us to investigate any possible abuse of copyright :-( You will find information about what is allowed under copyright law in the Library near any photocopier.
