Information for Dual JD Students Regarding Westlaw Canada Passwords

New incoming Dual JD students will need to obtain a password for Lexis+ Canada and Westlaw Edge Canada. These passwords are not provided for you as part of the US program; these are our Canadian systems.

To Avoid Westlaw Password Issues

  1. When registering, you MUST use the email address associated with UWindsor.
  2. When registering, you will be asked if you already have a OnePass username and password, please be sure to answer NO.
  3. If you wish to save your Westlaw passwords to your laptop, you should devote one browser to Westlaw US and a separate browser to Westlaw Edge Canada. If you try to save the password to the same browser, your Canadian information will override the US and you will be blocked from accessing the US site, including TWEN.

For technical support

If you have any questions, please phone Westlaw Edge Canada technical support at:  1-800-387-5164 or techsupport.legaltaxcanada@tr.com
