The law library subscribes to Lexis, Westlaw, and Bloomberg Law. As the largest and most powerful legal research databases, Lexis, Westlaw, and Bloomberg Law have a prominent place among the law library's online research resources.
Lexis and Westlaw both offer online tutorials for law students who want to practice their searching skills.
CALI, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing online learning resources to law students, also has lots of tutorials that can help you brush up on your online searching skills.
Access to Lexis, Westlaw, and Bloomberg Law
USF School of Law Lexis, Westlaw, and Bloomberg Law accounts are available only to USF law faculty, law staff, and currently-enrolled USF law students.

Access to WestlawNext for USF Law alumni and bar members is limited to using the WestlawNext terminal located within the law library; remote use or subscriptions are not available.
