Getting a Westlaw account.
Westlaw (Thomson Reuters Westlaw U.S. + Practical Law U.S.) is limited to students in National University's cohort Paralegal program. Librarians create accounts based on faculty requests. If class has started and you need an account, there will be a link in the Brightspace class to a form that you can use to request an account.
