This means that you are charged .15 for each piece of paper. To change to singlesided click the file dropdown and choose single sided .

Andrew Bockis, assistant counsel for the PA Department of Environmental Protection, will be coming to Widener to speak to the Environmental Law and Policy Society, and any other interested students, about his position as DEP assistant counsel and possible social and educational opportunities for Widener students in conjunction with the Environmental and Energy Law Section of the PA Bar. This section of the PA Bar consists of attorneys that work for the government, in private practice, and for public interest groups.

All students are welcome and are encouraged to bring questions and suggestions about how Widener can cooperate with this and other sections of the PA Bar to increase internship, pro bono, and networking opportunities for Widener students. Mr. Bockis will answer questions and provide our feedback to the PA Bar next week. Mr. Bockis was previously an assistant counsel at the Environmental Hearing Board.

Date: This Thursday, October 8, 2009

You will access them the same way but one new feature is that the printers can print doublesided. Just select the 9040 duplex as your printer. You will be charged .15 for a double sides copy instead of .20 for 2 single sided ones.

The disadvantage used to be that your results would be a citation and you would then have to locate the actual periodical article in print or through a different electronic database.  This is no longer the case.  When you use LegalTrac you can limit your results to articles that are in full text.  With Index to Legal Periodicals , you can use “LinkSource” to link to the full text of articles. If a pdf is not available, LinkSource will take you to ILLiad (InterLibrary Loan) and fill in the form for you after you log in.  So, instead of automatically jumping to Westlaw and Lexis, you might want to reconsider using a periodical index.
