Complimentary LexisNexis access will be provided throughout these graduates' public interest employment periods, up until September 2010 maximum.

Legal Research Center fines and lost book fees:
All fines and lost book fees must be cleared with the LRC before graduation on May 27, 2009.  Books and other items checked out from the LRC and University libraries will be due no later than graduation day.  Please visit Check my library record to determine if you have any outstanding library fines.  The LRC is unable to collect University Library fines.  LRC fines and lost book fees may be paid either at the LRC or Hagerty circulation desk in cash (sorry, the LRC can-not give change), by DragonCard Funds, or by check.  Hagerty Library can give change and also accepts credit cards for fines and lost book fees.
