This new, online legal resource and community combines unique content including video tutorials, blogs, and interactive video teaching materials to support academic study and legal research training.

Tom Laidlaw, Head of Academic Development, LexisNexis said, "LawCampus has been designed as an easy way for both students and academics to keep abreast of the latest developments in the law - and share information and ideas. Instant online access to the LexisNexis academic training team, as well as brand new training videos for our acclaimed LexisLibrary service, will help both students and academics get the most out of their university's LexisNexis research tool subscriptions. For students, it will also enable them to start aligning their work practices to those of real world lawyers encouraging them to seek out information, ask the advice of peers and specialists, and effectively self-educate, and so develop skills that are of paramount importance to the modern lawyer."
