If you are working away from Newcastle University's Campus, you should be able to use our resources via the Law Subject Guide or Library Search. However, you can also access some databases directly. Westlaw UK is one of these databases.

How to access Westlaw UK when off-campus:

  • Use a search engine (e.g. Google) to locate Westlaw UK, or access Westlaw UK directly using the attached link.
  • Click on the Access through academic institution button.

  • Search for Newcastle University as your chosen Academic Institution to login with, or use the alphabetical drop-down menu to locate our institution and click on Newcastle University.
  • Click Continue.
  • Enter your Newcastle University campus ID and password.
  • If you have never accessed Westlaw before, you will be prompted to create a OnePass account. Please use your Newcastle University credentials to do so. 

Once logged in, you can also access Westlaw International from the Westlaw UK homepage.
