What are Student Associates?

Student Associates

A Student Associate is a law student just like you. He or she has been fully trained to use the Lexis©Library online research service and also in how to pass that expertise on to others. Associates run weekly or bi-weekly clinics to provide fellow students with free support and assistance in Lexis©Library. Students can consult them on problems such as how to find a particular case or statute, how to find all the cases relevant to a specific problem, how best to search in order to maximise results, or even whether a particular journal or other source is available online.

Become a Student Associate

We recruit Student Associates between April and June of each year. If you want to be considered for a role at one of the above institutions, please email the LexisNexis HR team at jobs@lexisnexis.co.uk. Your applications must be accompanied by a covering letter and a copy of your C.V. Please state “Student Associate” and your university in the subject line of your email. Interviews will be held on campus during May and June.

There are also vacancies in all branches of the College of Law and BPP Law School. Applications for these posts are invited from 3rd year LLB students or current GDL students who are continuing their studies at the College of Law and BPP Law Schools.

The associates' role is to complement an institution's own library and information staff, as well as the LexisNexis academic trainers. We have received a great deal of support so far from librarians and faculty in establishing this programme and we will continue to work closely with them to ensure the programme is a success, both for ourselves and, more importantly, for our customers.
