Before First class:   

Register on the course TWEN page for Property I-A or I-B.  Make sure you register for the page pertaining to the section in which you are enrolled – A or B.   This page should be available for registration approximately one week before classes start.

TWEN stands for “The West Education Network” and the TWEN page is the course web page for Property.  To register, sign onto WestLaw using your WestLaw number, look for TWEN and registration for the class is easy from there. 

If you can’t figure out how to register for this class on TWEN, don’t have a Westlaw number, have lost your Westlaw number, etc., please contact the Westlaw Representative by emailing westlaw@law.capital.edu. (Do not contact me, as it is almost certain I will be unable to help, much as I would like to.)
