Faculty eResources Guide

This guide is intended to provide instruction on accessing and using e-resources in support of teaching and scholarship at Florida International University (FIU) College of Law.

Access to the major Legal Databases

The Law Library subscribes to a wide selection of electronic resources covering United States, foreign and international law, and other specialized materials in many areas of the law. This guide focuses on the five core legal databases licensed by the Law Library to support the curriculum and scholarship of faculty, students and staff of FIU College of Law and the FIU community, LexisAdvance, Westlaw, Bloomberg Law, Hein Online and CALI, the Computer Assisted Legal Instruction database.

These databases contain primary and secondary sources, State and Federal case law, State and Federal laws and statutes, State and Federal regulations, treatises, legal journals and news, and court documents.
