Patrons in Imperial County would have the opportunity to log into Westlaw from their home.
When patrons click the Westlaw Remote Patron Access link, they will be required to complete a OnePass registration and to validate their email address before accessing the online content.
Our subscription allows one concurrent research session. Once the maximum number of concurrent sessions has been reached, additional users trying to access Westlaw Remote Patron Access will see a notification indicating that they cannot obtain access at this time and to try again later.Limit time per user is 30-45 minutes.
To get started click the WESTLAW REMOTE ACCESS logo below to create your OnePass registration and setup two-factor authentication.
Note: you should have access to your email and cell phone available for setting up two factor authentication. Check your email (including Spam/Junk folder) for a OnePass verification message from west.onepass@thomsonreutes.com.
Sign Off Instructions To end the research session, it is important to click Sign Off. This will ensure that the seat becomes available immediately for the next patron. If the patron closes the Internet browser window rather than clicking Sign Off, it will take 7 to 10 minutes for this seat to reset and become available for the next patron.
To access Westlaw Remote Patron Access in the future, patrons who previously registered can click on the Westlaw Remote Patron Access link via the Law Library website and enter the OnePass username and password they previously created.
