Access While Clerking for a Firm

If you are a law student working for a law firm, here are details on whether or not you can use your law school account to conduct legal research for your firm:

Bloomberg Law: There are no restrictions on using your law school account for firm work.

Lexis: You may use your law school account for firm work only for summer clerkships, not during the regular academic year.

Westlaw: You may not use your law school account for law firm work at any time.

As a law student you can get a free ISBA membership that provides access to Fastcase, which you can use for firm work at any time. See https://www.iowabar.org/?pg=lawstudents for details.
