Registering for Westlaw & Using TWEN

Accessing TWEN

TWEN (The Westlaw Education Network) is used by many professors for your classes. You can also access all of the syllabi that have been posted by adding the course named Syllabi. To access TWEN, log into the Westlaw Law School Portal by signing in with your OnePass credentials.

Once you sign in, you will click on the link in the top right corner that is labeled Products. Then click on the TWEN link in the drop-down menu.

Adding a Course

Many professors prefer that their students self-enroll. You will need to self-enroll in order to access the Syllabi course. The Syllabi Course is where you will find syllabi for law school courses. Note that not all professors may have uploaded their syllabi at the time that you register. To add a course, click the Add Course button.

A list of available courses will pop-up (if you have blocked pop-up windows, make sure that you add Westlaw as an exception). Click the Add button across from the course that you want to add. Courses are listed in alphabetical order. Be sure and add the Syllabi course.

Adding a Course

Everyone should add the Syllabi course. Once added, you can go directly to the course or the next time you access TWEN, you will see that course. To access the course, click the course name.
