West Academic Online Study Aids may be accessed through this link on the Law Library’s A to Z Database list. However, it is recommended that users create an account to take full advantage of all the features available within West Academic Online Study Aids, such as highlighting and note taking.

In addition to these online study aids, the Law Library has a collection of assorted study aid series in print, which are searchable through The CAT – the library’s online catalog.
