Vendor Representatives

The law library maintains professional relationships with the vendor representatives for each of the three main legal research databases provided to students.

If you are having trouble with a specific database with respect to access or research, you have the ability to reach out to the vendor representatives directly for assistance. The contact information for each of these vendor representatives is listed below.
