Mon, 19 Nov 2007 19:00:00 GMT http://law.scu.edu/blog/heafeyheadnotes/software-tools-for-making-class-outlines-and-table-of-authorities.cfm There are some great software tools made by both Lexis and WestLaw for creating table of authorities and writing class outlines. These tools may be particularly useful for first-year law students in their legal research and writing courses. The Lexis application, CaseMap, is also an excellent way to organize facts, people, authorities, and other documents for a case. Tue, 24 Jun 2008 22:42:00 GMT http://law.scu.edu/blog/heafeyheadnotes/important-tip-for-downloading-documents-via-westlawlexis.cfm We have received two reports of users having problems downloading documents from either WestLaw/Lexis. Much of this may be due to users upgrading to Firefox 3.0 recently. Please remember to add "web2.westlaw.com" and "w3.lexis.com" to the exceptions list in your pop-up blocker. Thu, 07 Aug 2008 23:00:00 GMT http://law.scu.edu/blog/heafeyheadnotes/westlaw-tip-quick-print-is-not-your-friend.cfm To continue our WestLaw/Lexis advice, here is another valuable tip for our incoming students. There are two print options available to you in WestLaw. The first is the standard print function which sends documents to the WestLaw printer (which does not come out of your SmartPrint allotment). The second print option, Smart Print, sends a document to the attached network printer. Thu, 07 Aug 2008 23:09:00 GMT http://law.scu.edu/blog/heafeyheadnotes/warning-about-using-westlaw-with-older-web-browsers.cfm Westlaw has recently announced that they will block access to their services for people using older web browsers.

Wed, 14 Jan 2009 18:20:00 GMT http://law.scu.edu/blog/heafeyheadnotes/summer-access-to-lexis-and-westlaw-for-students.cfm Lexis and Westlaw will restrict student access to their systems during the summer (June 1 through July 31). Students may extend their normal Lexis and Westlaw privileges over the summer for certain activities. These activities include an academic purpose (e.g. summer classes, moot court, law journal, faculty research assistant), an unpaid internship/externship that is done for credit, or bar review. Fri, 24 Apr 2009 03:10:00 GMT http://law.scu.edu/blog/heafeyheadnotes/westlaw-china.cfm Access for law school students, faculty and staff Mon, 18 May 2009 17:24:00 GMT http://law.scu.edu/blog/heafeyheadnotes/summer-access-to-lexis-and-westlaw.cfm It's not too late to register for full summer access to Lexis and Westlaw! When you log in to Lexis and Westlaw, you should see a link or a button that will take you to the summer registration pages. If you don't see these, you may need to disable any ad-blocking functions on your internet browser. Tue, 09 Jun 2009 19:05:00 GMT http://law.scu.edu/blog/heafeyheadnotes/evening-1ls-and-lexiswestlaw-training.cfm There is some confusion about the Lexis and Westlaw training sessions for the evening 1L students in the part-time program. These sessions are specifically (and only) for the evening 1L students. These training sessions will occur immediately after the evening Contracts class. Evening students do NOT need to sign-up for these sessions (and, in fact, there is no place to do so). Just show up. Sat, 15 Aug 2009 02:49:00 GMT http://law.scu.edu/blog/heafeyheadnotes/summer-lexis-westlaw-access.cfm Continuing and graduating students--you can have your Lexis and Westlaw passwords extended for full use during the summer if you are taking part in a qualifying activity. But, you must register with Lexis and/or Westlaw to have your full access extended. If you don't register, then you will have only very limited access. Here's what Lexis and Westlaw consider to be qualifying activities.

While I am sure that this error will eventually be corrected, despite the statements of the customer service representative to whom Prof. Volokh spoke, this does illustrate a larger point about legal research. Wed, 21 Jul 2010 18:52:00 GMT http://law.scu.edu/blog/heafeyheadnotes/the-us-constitution.cfm Constitution Day and Citizenship Day is Friday, September 17th, commemorating the signing of the Constitution in 1787 Wed, 15 Sep 2010 14:58:00 GMT http://law.scu.edu/blog/heafeyheadnotes/please-dont-print-with-westlawnext.cfm Printing from WestlawNext is EXTREMELY slow. We would ask you to please NOT use the WestlawNext print function. Instead, use one of our suggested alternatives. Wed, 06 Apr 2011 00:48:00 GMT http://law.scu.edu/blog/heafeyheadnotes/westlawnext-printing-issues.cfm Search in WestLawNext but use regular Westlaw to send print jobs to the stand-alone printer. Wed, 06 Apr 2011 23:47:00 GMT http://law.scu.edu/blog/heafeyheadnotes/summer-access-for-lexis-and-westlaw.cfm Are you taking summer law classes or doing an internship/externship for credit? Are you wondering why you can't access Lexis or Westlaw? It's most likely because you didn't sign up for summer access with them. If you didn't sign up for summer access, then you'll be limited to 2 hours of use per month during the summer. To sign up for summer access, log in to Lexis and/or Westlaw. Then look for the news item about summer registration and click the link to find out more. Tue, 21 Jun 2011 21:29:00 GMT
