See the Law Library's A-Z list, for available databases for legal research. Non-legal databases can be accessed at the UNH Libraries A-Z database list. These databases are licensed by the Law Library and are governed by the Terms and Conditions of each vendor, the definitions of authorized users and authorized use (see below) as well as the USNH Acceptable Use Policy.
Electronic resources made available by the UNH Franklin Pierce Law Library or the UNH Library are restricted to authorized users. The term "Authorized users" includes current UNH Franklin Pierce students, faculty, staff, and other authorized users—or, where permitted by a license agreement, to UNH students, faculty, staff, and other authorized users only. They are here to support the curricular and scholarship needs of the community. Access to electronic resources through the Law Library is governed by the following:
When using licensed electronic resources, authorized users are responsible for:
Vendors and publishers of electronic resources may have the technical means to monitor, count, control, and deny access if they suspect improper use. Such activity violates the license agreement and jeopardizes the continued access to and use of any licensed electronic resources by the entire UNH Franklin Pierce School of Law community.
Use of Lexis+AI, Westlaw, or BloombergLaw during an externship is guided by these rules. Summer associates and new alumni have some additional rules around using your academic passwords, explained in this guide.
