LexisNexis Online Legal Resources for CLCs

NACLC and LexisNexis have entered into a new partnership to promote the rule of law, through the provision of high quality, contemporaneous online legal resources to CLCs. These resources ensure that the disadvantaged and vulnerable clients and communities that CLCs service everyday are able to receive informed and timely legal assistance. See the media release for more.

Over the initial twelve months of this partnership until June 2017, LexisNexis will be seeking to draw upon the expertise of CLC staff and volunteers through focus groups and surveys. Targeted feedback might be sought on LexisNexis products, attitudes to technology and innovation in the legal assistance sector and the specific training needs of CLCs. 

NACLC encourages CLCs to participate in these activities as a fundamental component of a partnership that delivers online legal resources at a substantially reduced commercial rate, and free of charge to CLCs.

Following an extensive consultation process with CLCs, the new package will offer a more targeted list of resources, focussed on those areas of law practised by CLCs. See below for a list of resources in the new package.

Login

Most CLCs should now have automatic login to Lexis Nexis via their IP address (or other arrangements in place where a centre has no fixed IP address). If you cannot access the Lexis Nexis Practical Guidance Modules or Online Research Products automatically from an internet connected computer at your centre, please email:

NACLC Office
naclc@clc.net.au
(02) 9264 9595

with the subject title 'LexisNexis access request'

and tell us:

  • a contact name and email at your centre
  • your centre's IP address (this can be obtained from websites – e.g. http://whatismyipaddress.com/)
  • number of people who will require training

and we will arrange for access to be setup with LexisNexis.

If your CLC requires access to the online legal resources while on outreah, please contact NACLC (details above) to discuss complementary access options to the IP address access (eg., logins for individual staff members). 

General Training

CLCs will be able to access FREE face to face or Webinar training. To inquire about training, please contact:
