This is a list of key subscription services and databases that are available for access by current NYLS students, faculty and staff at computers both inside and outside the NYLS complex. Many more are cataloged and accessible through our library catalog.
The Mendik Library now provides off campus access to electronic resources via Ezproxy. When logging into a database from off campus, please login with your network name and password (the same username and password you use for the portal).
Note: With the exception of Lexis, Westlaw and Bloomberg Law, the databases to which the Library subscribes must be accessed via the links found within this guide. If you are outside the school when you click on one of these links, the following authentication box will appear. When it does, just enter the same username & password that would take you to the NYLS portal.
If you are having a problem with your NYLS user name or password, please contact OIT at

If you are having a problem with connecting to a particular database, please contact Grace Lee (email: glee@nyls.edu) and identify the page where the database is located.
A comprehensive legal research platform, Bloomberg Law incorporates publications and resources formerly produced by the Bureau of National Affairs (BNA). The service offers Practice Centers which group resources by areas of legal practice. The Practice Centers feature resources from the wide range of Bloomberg Law content, including News, Legal Analysis, Practical Guidance, Practice Tools, and Chart Builders. Requires a Bloomberg Law password.
