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.

Westlaw have launched a special website for students, with lots of useful information - it's just called "Law Student" and it is quite similar to Lexis Law Campus. You can access it via the URL above, or Google it! Please do have a look and pass on any feedback to the Westlaw Student representative, Andy McNally, A.M.McNally@Warwick.ac.uk It's a free website, good for current awareness, including:

• Features from leading legal authors

• News and legal market round-ups

• Career guides, podcasts, prizes & more

Index of Legal Terms in Westlaw

Westlaw now includes an Index of Legal Terms - it looks very useful! This option appears on the Westlaw home screen when you log in. You can search for a definition of a legal term in online law dictionaries including Jowitt, Stroud and Osborn, and also in UK legislation, case law and journals.
