EDU Membership Help FAQs

EDU memberships are complimentary memberships open to faculty, students, and researchers with a valid .edu email address. They provide access to our tools so that the next generation of legal scholars, public interest attorneys, and legal professionals can fully engage with open legal data.

Note: EDU memberships must be renewed every 6 months. You will receive an email to your .edu email address two weeks prior to your membership term end date.
