Paralegal Program LexisNexis ID Policy

The Paralegal Program believes it is important for students to become competent in computerized legal research. All students enrolled in the paralegal program are required to purchase a Lexis ID.  The ID is good for the school year, September through August.  Purchasing the Lexis ID is the responsibility of each Paralegal student.

Paralegal Principles Students

New students enrolled in Paralegal Principles, fall and spring semesters, will automatically be charged for the Lexis ID on their fee bill.  If the Lexis ID fee is not charged on the fee bill, it is the student's responsibility to purchase an ID at the Sinclair Bookstore, after obtaining a permission slip from the Chair's office (Room 5-141).

Fall Semester

Students enrolled in PAR 2304, Paralegal Ethics, will be billed for the LexisNexis fee on their fee bill.  PAR 2304 students do not go to the book store to pay for a Lexis ID.
