Your website or newsletters aren’t showing up properly on my computer. What’s wrong?

Some older web browsers and email applications may have trouble loading Law360’s website or daily email newsletters.

The best solution for most browser issues is to download the latest version of Chrome or Firefox.

The Law360 website is designed so that users can easily access Law360 content from anywhere. Unfortunately, Internet Explorer 8 and earlier versions have difficulty displaying newer web programming. At a minimum, turn off Compatibility Mode in IE, which will resolve many display issues.

Most email applications display Law360 emails without any trouble, however if you’re using an email client that’s pre-2007, you may encounter problems loading Law360 emails.

We understand that not everyone has the ability to upgrade or change computer applications, but in order for Law360 to provide the best experience for our readers as a whole, we implement new web technologies as they become available for up-to-date browsers.

If the problem persists, please email customerservice@law360.com or call 646-783-7100 and someone will assist you.

Why doesn’t my web browser save my Law360 username and password?

This issue usually involves the cookie settings in your web browser. First of all, ensure that your browser settings allow cookies, and that your browser does not automatically empty the history and cache each time you close it.

If you’re still having trouble saving your username and password for Law360, please contact your information technology team. They are best-suited to resolve this issue, as they have direct access to your computer and network settings.

If your technology team needs to contact us, they can email customerservice@law360.com or call 646-783-7100.

We also recommend checking online help forums for your web browser, which often contain answers to common issues related to saving login information.

When I try to log in to Law360, I get an error message that says “Your account is already in use.” How can I regain access to Law360?

A username can only be logged in on one device and web browser at a time. If you use multiple devices or browsers to log in to Law360, make sure you log out each time you leave the site, to ensure access on another device or browser.

If you’ve logged out and have ensured that no one else is using your username and password, but still get the error message, try clearing your browser cache and logging in again.

Why can’t I access content that I have a subscription to?

First, make sure you’re logged in with your authenticated username and password.

If you’re on IP passthrough, check that you’re not accessing another account’s subscription. If you see another account than your own named in the site toolbar, your access may be limited. Logging in with your username will resolve this issue.

Also make sure you’ve visited the article from a section or newsletter that you have a subscription to. For example, if you visit an article tagged for both IP and Life Sciences through the Life Sciences newsletter, you’ll need a subscription to Life Sciences to see the full article.

An easy way to resolve this issue is to search for the article using the search box at the top of the website. You’ll be able to access all articles tagged for any sections you’re subscribed to from the search results page.

If you still can’t access content included with your subscription, please email customerservice@law360.com or call 646-783-7100 and someone will assist you.
