Participants will receive their own personal log-in, granting them one year of access to New York Times content on the web and across smartphone apps, which include The Times's core news apps on iPhone, Android, Windows Phone and BlackBerry10.

"This collaboration with NELLCO marks a major milestone for The New York Times as we continue to expand our digital offerings to individuals at an organizational level," said Yasmin Namini, chief consumer officer, The New York Times. "Access to The Times's world-class journalism on our expanding digital platforms provides the participating students and faculty with the insight and analysis they need to enrich their curricula and overall learning experience."

"NELLCO is thrilled to be working with The New York Times to make affordable, digital access available to law schools across the country. This is a win not only for NELLCO member institutions, but also for members of the Mid-America Law Library Consortium (MALLCO)," said Tracy L. Thompson, executive director, New England Law Library Consortium (NELLCO). "Together, NELLCO and MALLCO represent more than half of the law schools in the U.S. The New York Times remains an important resource for our students, faculty and staff and we are proud to be part of the effort to connect the next generation of readers to the next generation of The New York Times."
