What is a Law Education Account?

Texas Bar Practice Law Education Accounts offer law students and educators free resources for educational and professional purposes.

Every digitally-based product (digital book downloads and online subscriptions) we have on the website is complimentary for those intending to use it for educational purposes. Both law students and law educators at accredited Texas law schools are eligible.  

HOW DO I SET UP A LAW EDUCATION ACCOUNT? 

Select ‘JOIN NOW’ in the upper, right-hand corner of the webpage. Then select “Law Student” as your account type. Enter your law school email address and estimated graduation date. For law educators, please fill in a date with a longer horizon that might reflect the length of your service. This date can always be modified, or your account privileges renewed through customer service.  

On the following page, enter your personal information. Select whether you’re setting up the account for yourself or an organization. Click on “Select Myself.” Once your account has been created, it will lead you directly to your library. You’re then able to select “Bookshop” from the top menu and add items to your cart.  

HOW DO I ADD MATERIALS TO MY LIBRARY?  

While you shop in the bookstore, you will see the full pricing on the product page, but once you put a digital download or subscription in your cart the item will show a price of $0.00.  

Once you’ve added items to your cart, select the shopping cart icon from the top menu. On the next screen, you’ll be asked if you’d like to buy for “My Library” or an organization account. Please choose “My Library.” Organization accounts are not eligible for the education discount. 
 
At this point, you will see your items fully discounted and you can continue your checkout. If it is a $0.00 priced order, there will be no need to enter any payment information. 

WHAT ABOUT HARD-COPY MATERIALS? 

As of August 1, 2021, those with law education accounts will no longer receive hard copy materials for a small fee. In order to purchase the hard copy version of a digital publication that you currently receive for free, you will need to purchase the full bundle, both digital download and hard copy, at full price. For materials that are solely print materials, you will continue to purchase those items for full price.

We hope you enjoy using the site and find our publications useful as law educational materials!
