We have law school-wide access to the online version of the New York Times via the Academic Pass program. Law school students, staff, and faculty members may use this service. A link to the New York Times' website and a link to sign up for an individual account can both be found on the Law Library website.
To get access to the New York Times, use this Multipass-protected link. Set up an individual account using your "duq.edu" email address. Once you have created your account, you can sign into the New York Times website on the top right-hand side using the Log In button.
Your individual account will be good for one year, at which time you will need to renew. (The system will allow you to set up an email calendar reminder if you like.) To renew, use the link provided above, but click on "Log In Here" rather than “Create Account.” After that, you should get a verification email. Click on the link in that email, and your account should be renewed for 364 days.
