legal departments are being asked to keep more work

in-house. And turnaround times aren’t getting any

longer. WestlawNext™ provides you with intelligent

An inviting dashboard is the fi rst sign of legal research

that’s more like the way you think – and the way you

work. Where complete answers don’t require complex

searches. And where the tools to analyze and organize

what you’ve found are built into your workfl ow.

GET IN AND GET GOING TO RELEVANT RESULTS

You’ll like how the new interface is clean, uncluttered,

and easy to use. Need the law in a jurisdiction? Just

type in simple descriptive terms. Want a document?

Enter the title or citation. Wish to browse or search

a particular publication? Type it in.

You can fi lter your results by date, topic, jurisdiction,

court, or publication status with one click. Screen out

what you’ve already seen. Review summaries of cases

in your result list to fi nd the best ones quickly. Mark up

and organize documents. And fi nd related documents,

leverage previous work product, and manage citations

easily. It’s what you’d expect from a complete research

system designed by legal professionals for legal

professionals.

CUSTOMIZE YOUR DISPLAY OF INFORMATION

You can hide, expand, and adjust the display of

information you fi nd ... or toggle to “full-screen

mode” where it’s more comfortable to spend time

with a document online instead of printing it to read.

BROWSE FASTER WITH CASE SUMMARIES

Our new Case Summaries allow you to move through

your result list effi ciently, understanding at a glance

what a case is about and seeing the highlighted search

terms in context. You can edit the display length so

you control how much text appears in your result list.

TRACK YOUR RESEARCH WITH VISUAL INDICATORS

Your legal research goes more quickly when you know

what you’ve looked at, set aside for future viewing, and

made personal notes on. Intuitive icons for Previously

Viewed, Saved to Folder, and Note Added enable you

to avoid retracing steps and also know which stones

remain unturned. When you consistently see these

Visual Indicators, you can be confi dent your research

is complete.

With WestlawNext, you’re in control from start to fi nish.

A WestlawNext search will deliver what you’re looking

for – even beyond what you’re asking for – to provide

you with ranked results where you’ll always see the

most relevant documents on top of your list.

How does it do it? WestSearch™ – the world’s most

advanced legal search engine. It leverages over 100

years of West’s editorial analysis of the law and emulates

the best practices of experienced legal researchers.

SEARCH WITH EASE FROM AN ALL-IN-ONE SEARCH BOX

There’s no need to choose a database or enter Boolean

Terms and Connectors – and no need to know the wide

variety of language that could describe a concept. Just

type simple descriptive terms in the search box, select a

jurisdiction from a pull-down menu, and retrieve highly

relevant results from the world’s most trusted legal

content. (For the times you want to search individual

databases or use Boolean Terms and Connectors,

WestSearch supports that, too.)

GET MORE RELEVANT, MORE INCLUSIVE RESULTS

Every WestlawNext search automatically leverages

West’s editorial analysis, Key Number taxonomy, and

state-of-the-art search technologies so you can be

confi dent you didn’t miss anything, and it ranks the

most relevant cases on top to save you time.

The key is how we integrate intelligent information from

analysis of each case by West attorney-editors together

with research history on the cases most cited, printed,

and linked-to for your issue. WestSearch automatically

applies this information to each search for thoroughness

and precision no other service can match. The system

is so intelligent, your words may not even appear in the

most relevant cases.

SORT AND FILTER RESULTS

Results ranked by relevance is the hallmark of a

WestlawNext search. You can view your top results

all together or sorted by content type, such as cases,

statutes, forms, administrative materials, briefs, and

more. Either way, you know your research is complete.

You can also narrow your list to just what you need with

a click or two. Filters for search results like criminal/civil

and reported/unreported offer you pinpoint accuracy

you’ve never had before.

VIEW RELATED DOCUMENTS

Here is another way we bring relevant information to

you, instead of you having to search all over. It could be

an ALR® article, annotated statute, or a brief from the

world’s leading collection – all brought to the surface.

One nugget could save you a lot of time.

Quick access to relevant information helps you get

more accomplished, more effi ciently. Now you can tag

and assign information as you go, so when your research

is complete, it’s already organized.

DRAG-AND-DROP INTO RESEARCH FOLDERS

We know legal research is a highly nuanced process

in which you determine the documents that are most

important, and in what way. WestlawNext enables you

to insert key documents and text snippets in dedicated

folders by issue, client, or topic for quicker access later.

SHARE THE KNOWLEDGE WITH FOLDER SHARING

Tap into the collective knowledge of your entire

research team by sharing research with team members

across the offi ce or across the country – in real time.

Now the most experienced researchers on your team

can be part of every project, and you’ll all save time

by never having to redo research that’s already been

done. Plus, folder sharing helps you build stronger

client/fi rm relationships while increasing effi ciency

and reducing costs.

SEARCH 12 MONTHS OF RESEARCH HISTORY

Not only can you search what you’ve done in the past,

but you can also fi lter your research by any time period,

client ID, or topic. You’ll never have to redo searches,

even those you didn’t put in a research folder.

COPY AND PASTE WITH CITATION

You can paste text into your work product with the

offi cial citations – including standard, ALWD, California,

New York, and other leading formats. That’s one less

thing to worry about.

HIGHLIGHT TEXT ONLINE AND ADD NOTES

WestlawNext annotation tools allow you to highlight

text online as you do with print materials, so when you

return to a document, you’re already focused. You can

type in your own personal notes on a particular case for

future reference, make a note to yourself to follow up

on something, and overall, keep your thought process

going and productively captured.

We’ve always worked for you. Today, we work like you.
