Purchasing and Signing Up
- My Access Code doesn't work.
An Access Code is an 8-character code that allows you to add a Practice Set your account by clicking the "Get More Practice Sets" button.
If the code you are trying to enter looks like a phone number or a social security number, e.g., 123-45-678, that number is not an Access Code. That number is a Class Code (see below) that adds you to an instructor's class.
- I bought an eBook. Does my book come with an Access Code?
eBook purchases from supported partner platforms (including Kindle, Redshelf, Vitalsource, and Perusall) grant access to Core Knowledge for Lawyers content when available.
Please first create your free Core Knowledge for Lawyers account. Next, click "Get More Practice Sets." Check the "I bought an eBook" box, select the practice set that accompanies your eBook, and Check Out. Attach proof of purchase or a receipt and include any additional information in the comment field. We will verify your purchase and add the practice set directly to your account when approved.
