You will find MyLaw at my.law.ucla.edu
If you are a member of a Center, Department, Student Publication or Organization, from your MyLaw home page you will find your "Department" administration link(s) under the appropriate descriptive header at the top of the left navigation (your headers will differ from the screenshot below, depending on your department membership).*
After clicking on a header, it expands to show links to any "departments" you belong to. Click on the link for the appropriate department.
This link brings you to your Internal Team Collaboration Site for your department.
From the left navigation, click on "Portal Content Management/Targeting Site".
This will take you to the admin view where you can add or edit announcements, events content pages, and documents for the Law School community.
*Note: The top (global) navigation brings you to the "public" view of your site, not the Admin view.
Only current content appears in the lists on your Department Portal Home page. To locate your expired announcements, events, deadlines, content pages, documents or department information, click on Department Announcements (or the link for the appropriate content type) in the left navigation.
If the list view is "Active Content," select "All Items" from the menu to see a complete listing of all Announcements (or other content types), both current and expired.
The easiest way to create new content on your Department or Center MyLaw site is to Use the "Create" link in the upper right corner of the MyLaw banner.
Once you click "Create" you must select the type of content you wish to create on your site (Announcement, Event, Deadline, Content Page or Document). If you belong to more than one department or center, you must also select the appropriate site for which you are creating new content.
Once you select the type of content and the specific site, click Next. This will take you to the form that must be filled out to create the new content. (Please see the separate boxes for detailed instructions about creating announcements, creating events, creating deadlines, creating content pages or links, and creating documents.)
The "Department Documents" library includes any files you wish to make available to your audience(s). Files can be grouped by any categories you choose. Any file type can be uploaded, but do use more common file types (such as PDF or MS Office files), so that your end users can open them.
If you need to update your MS Office files, you can do so within MyLaw. There is no need to create a new or edited version; delete the old version; and upload it again.
Before uploading a document to MyLaw, please consider some best practices in naming your documents:
(Note the items marked with a red asterisk are required fields)
If you are uploading a new document using the "Create" link, skip to Step 2. Make sure you are on your "Portal Content Management/Targeting Site" (See "Getting to Department Site Management" to the left)

To Upload a new document, double click on "Department Documents" and select the Upload link in the upper left corner.
