Paralegal Program LexisNexis ID Policy

All students enrolled in the Paralegal Program are required to purchase a LexisNexis ID.  The ID is good for the school year, September through August.

The Paralegal Program believes it is important for students to become competent in computerized legal research.  Names of all paralegal students need to be given to Lexis so that IDs can be assigned immediately.  Once the list of student names is turned into Lexis, refunds may not be made, even if students drop paralegal classes.

Paralegal Principles Students

New students enrolled in Paralegal Principles, fall and winter quarters, will automatically be charged a program fee for the Lexis ID on their fee bill.

Fall Quarter

Students enrolled in PAR 220, Legal Ethics, will be charged a program fee on their fee bill.  PAR 220 students do not go to the book store to pay for a Lexis ID.
