Can We Help?

Sign on with more security, more control, more convenience.

The new OnePass account registration will allow you to log on to multiple West applications with a single username and password – and enjoy greater security and control. This new sign-on process will be implemented in phases so that our users can convert to the new system over time, starting November 1, 2009.

  • More secure – New usernames and passwords will have more secure character requirements. Because you create your own username and password, they will be easier to remember and only you will know what they are.
  • More control – Rather than having a password assigned to you by West, you will choose your own username and password. If you forget your password, you can reset it yourself.
  • One profile for multiple applications – You will be able to use the same username and password with Westlaw and other related applications such as My Account, west.thomson.com, Westlaw Tax, Westlaw Business, Compliance Advisor, lawschool.westlaw.com, Westlaw International, Westlaw CourtExpress, Westlaw Calendaring, Westlaw Credit Card, QuickView+ and more.
