Wex Definitions
Under LII’s supervision, Cornell Law students research and draft the content of our free Wex online legal reference collection. The Wex Definitions Project, specifically, began as a reaction to the contracted labor market for law student summer work during 2020, as most legal employers pulled back from their regular practice of bringing in clerks, interns, and summer associates due to the remote work mandates in place at the time.
Since that summer, Cornell Law students have improved upon thousands of definitions originally imported into Wex in an arrangement with a now-defunct third-party online source, replacing them instead with more current and comprehensive, link-dense and example-driven explanations. The project also encourages students to create new definitions where they find a gap in the Wex collection. Nichole McCarthy heads up the Wex Definitions team for LII.
