Finding and Accessing W&L Databases and Online Resources

The libraries at W&L subscribe to many databases, publications, and online materials that require either on-campus use or log-in verification for off-campus access. For a list and brief description of these important resources, visit www.law.wlu.edu/library/onlineresources or navigate from the menu at the left of the Law Library homepage: Resources > Online Databases. Links from this list will pass you through to the appropriate resource after log-in with valid W&L credentials.
