Join Scott M. Smith, Westlaw Government Account Manager, for a look at
MyWestlaw Personalization, ResultsPlus display, and ALR / AmJur on
Westlaw.
Have you ever said to yourself "There must be a better way!" With the
personalization that is available through MyWestlaw, you can make your
legal research much more efficient and save yourself time.
Westlaw.com is the only legal research service that allows you to
tailor the research environment to your own needs. Going even further
in providing "faster and better" legal
research, the new ResultsPlus display automatically provides you access
to ALR annotations, AmJur2d articles, and Key Numbers that are relevant
to your case law search. Your case law search results are displayed more
efficiently
on the left, with words before and after your search terms, and the
related content is suggested on the right.
Speaking of ALR and AmJur2d, what can these publications provide for
you? ALR provides comprehensive treatment of
a legal issue, from both sides, as well as a background and summary of
the legislative and judicial pronouncements on that issue so you won't
miss an important case.
AmJur2d, America's premier legal encyclopedia, covers more
than 430 topics of federal and state law - civil and criminal,
substantive and procedural. Expert authors carefully review and
summarize the entire body of relevant law from all state and federal
jurisdictions, going beyond the content of the law and acquainting you
with the spirit of the law. It's the one place to go to gain a quick,
comprehensive grasp of an unfamiliar legal topic.
