Dear Students,
Lexis PSL is a new service which is currently available as part of Lexis Library. It has recently begun a 2-year trial period during which it is free.
Lexis PSL is designed to be used by qualified legal practitioners, and so you might find it useful to make yourselves familiar with it while you’re at the College.
LexisPSL is an online service that provides practical guidance, Butterworths commentary, cases, consolidated legislation, forms and precedents. It covers a multitude of practice areas, including Commercial, Dispute Resolution, Employment, Family, Personal Injury, Property, Wills and Probate and Corporate.
We’d like to stress that using Lexis PSL is NOT a necessary part of your coursework, but you may find it useful to take a look at.
Regards,
Library Moorgate.
