Westlaw is a commercial legal research service that is commonly used in professional legal workplaces. To activate your free student account, you need to receive a registration key from Thomson Reuters.
Your Queen's email account should receive a welcome email from Westlaw in the first week of the semester. This email will provide instructions for setting up your personal account.
Check your spam folder and contact the law library for help if you can't find the welcome email.
Note: Each time you sign in, Westlaw prompts you to “Select a client ID.” The Client ID is used to identify your Westlaw session, but otherwise has no effect on your research or use of the platform. Simply enter any text or number and then “Start a new session” to proceed to the homepage.
