2Ls: Need Help Finding Your Old Addresses for the Bar Application?

Posted on Posted in Lexis and Westlaw

If you plan to take the bar exam in Ohio, your Application to Register as a Candidate for Admission must be submitted by November 15, 2017 (or pay a penalty thereafter). Part of the application requires you to provide your past addresses and employment history, which can be done easily using the Public Records Search on Lexis Advance:

  1. Log onto www.lexisnexis.com/lawschool
  2. Click on “Go to Lexis Advance” and choose Public Records from the Explore Content box
  3. Start with “Locate a Person”
  4. Enter all the information (the LexID can be left blank). Be sure to enter your Social Security number with dashes.
  5. A report should appear with your name on the left side; click on your name and the search will return all of your prior addresses. Click on other links in the report to find additional information.

**You can only run these reports on yourself. You can use it for clinic work (to locate a witness, for example), but you are not permitted to run searches to find anyone else.***–Per our Lexis Rep, Jen Durkin.
