Access to many of the resources available from this website is limited to specific groups of library users. Some resources, specifically the Lexis and Westlaw legal database systems, are available only to users who possess a personal username and/or password. (Lexis and Westlaw IDs are available for all law school faculty and students. Please contact the library if you need an ID.)

Other resources are available to any user physically present in the UA law school and accessing the materials from a computer located on the law school network. Many of these resources are also available remotely to users with the proper credentials, as discussed below. Users who do not meet the proper requirements for a particular resource will not be able to access the resource from off-site. We can make no exceptions to these policies.

Most law library database and electronic journal subscriptions, course reserves, and law school exams are available off-campus to law school faculty, staff, and students. You may access these databases through our secure proxy server by logging in with your law school username and password--the same username and password you use to access your law school Webmail account. For password problems, please contact the law school's technology helpdesk at help@law.ua.edu.

Our proxy server makes use of SSL web technology to keep your passwords secure and to prevent interception during the log in process. Should you encounter a "security alert" at any point during log in, please select "yes" (in Internet Explorer) or a similar appropriate choice (in other web browsers) to accept our security certificate. The issues raised by this "security alert" DO NOT affect the security of your username or password.

If you encounter any problems accessing or using any of the Law/Remote materials, please see Law/Remote Access Problems or contact Creighton Miller at cmiller@law.ua.edu or (205) 348-2373. Please let us know about even the smallest issues, as we can't fix them until we hear about them.

A number of the databases to which pages on this website link are provided by the University Libraries, the main campus library system. The majority of these databases may be accessed from any networked campus computer or by UA faculty, staff, and students with a valid UA ID number. To log in, simply type in your last name and enter your UA ID number with no spaces or dashes (eg., 000112222, not 000-11-2222).

While our reference staff will be happy to help you search these databases, we have no control over these subscriptions and can not provide assistance with access or login problems. Please contact the University Libraries Systems Office with any such problems.

Some of the databases found listed on this website are available through the Alabama Virtual Library program, a state-funded program providing database access to academic and public libraries throughout the state. Any Alabama resident can access these databases from a local public library or remotely by requesting an "AVL card" from an Alabama public library. To access databases through the AVL program, or for more details on AVL home access, see the AVL website.

Please Note: to access AVL databases through the AVL program, you must use the links provided on the AVL website. Database links found here on the UA law library website do not allow AVL access.
