Students are able to connect to the law school network, online legal research services and the Internet from virtually anywhere in or around the school without being bound to an outlet. The law school provides all law students with a College of Law e-mail address that can be checked from any computer with web access. All students are licensed to use the two principal computer-assisted legal research services, Lexis and Westlaw. They are available to all law students beginning in the second semester of the student's first year. Students can access these services either by direct network connection in the law school or from off-campus via the Internet.
Some faculty members make use of computer-generated visual presentations in class.
In many cases these presentations are also available on the law school's website for downloading by students. The law school provides training courses in word processing software use, as well as Lexis and Westlaw research. We support the current versions of both Microsoft Word and Corel WordPerfect. We also maintain a help desk and employ student consultants, in addition to a full-time staff of computer professionals, to assist students and faculty with computer issues. All incoming students are required to have access to a laptop computer which runs Microsoft Windows, and can access the law school s wireless network.
