Can't make it to the library? Now you can access Westlaw from home! The NH Law Library is participating in the Westlaw Patron Access Remote Pilot program with Thomson Reuters to allow you remote access to Westlaw, a premier legal research database.
When you click the Westlaw Patron Access Remote link, you'll need to complete a OnePass registration and to validate your email address before accessing the online content. Be patient! This registration process takes several steps.
To access Westlaw Patron Access Remote again, come back to this website, click on the Westlaw Patron Access Remote link above, and enter your OnePass username and password that you created previously.
The number of downloads is limited; there are time limits, and Westlaw allows only one person on at a time.

In addition to our main Concord location, the New Hampshire Law Library is partnering with public libraries around the state to provide access to Westlaw and small collections of legal titles such as the New Hampshire Practice Series and the New Hampshire Revised Statutes Annotated. Partnerships like these help the Law Library put legal resources into trusted community centers and expand public access to reliable and accurate legal information. Each library will have a different collection of print resources depending upon shelf space, but all of our partners will have access to Westlaw.
The Law Library is located inside the Supreme Court Building at One Charles Doe Drive, Concord, New Hampshire. We offer free access to Westlaw, Lexis Advance, and HeinOnline.
Note: There is no street sign for the Library. Follow the signs for the Supreme Court.
