Biography

Hi my name is Amy, I am a second year law student and the Student Associate for LexisNexis at UCL. I have been fully trained to use LexisLibrary and will be available to help with any queries you may have regarding the database. I will also be providing tips on how LexisNexis can improve the efficiency of your legal research.

I will be holding drop in sessions during the week and will also be available on a more informal basis.

Please get in contact with me if you have any questions either via email: amy.behrmann.11@ucl.ac.uk or in person.

I look forward to meeting you!
