Westlaw Edge – new features

Writing about web page https://legalsolutions.thomsonreuters.co.uk/content/dam/ewp-m/documents/legal-uk/en/pdf/brochures/introducing-westlaw-uk.pdf

Westlaw was enhanced this summer, and it is now called Westlaw Edge - I have included a link to their brochure. EU law is easier to access, and the link to US law is flagged up more clearly. There are enhanced case analytics and tool which compare the changes which have taken place between any two versions of legislation across UK, English, Welsh, Northern Ireland and Scottish jurisdictions.

There is another new feature, Westlaw Questions. If you type a term into the general search box Westlaw Edge suggests related questions; e.g. if you enter directors you will see several questions about directors' duties. You can select any question to find a link to a Westlaw overview article on the topic. I am still exploring this myself, but please do read the information provided by Westlaw on the new features and contact me if you have any queries.
