Out-of-the-Box Resources
AJ Levy notes that the Louisiana Supreme Court now makes its Westlaw subscription available for free on two terminals in its library. Most law school libraries in the state also make resources freely available--if you make the effort to visit. For example, Loyola provides the excellent resources listed here (if you are not familiar with them, take the time to read the descriptions--especially for Hein Online and Wilson Web). LSU provides an even more exhaustive set of databases in its library.
UPDATE: AJ Levy notes that the law school libraries do not provide free access to Westlaw and Lexis. Generally, if an item on the LSU list is not freely available, it will indicate that a personal password and/or LSU ID is necessary for access.
