WESTLAW UK WHAT'S NEW - MAY 2011

 
 

Welcome to the May 2011 issue of Westlaw UK What's New.
 
This month we've got plenty to share with you! We're delighted to announce that from 24 May (subject to successful testing) we're extending the sources included in our Index of Legal Terms service.
 
As well as this you'll soon be able to search for definitions of legal terms and phrases across cases and journals in addition to the current ability to search in legislation. 
 
We're giving you the ability to build links to Books on Westlaw UK and we're launching the 14th edition of Sealy & Milman. In terms of other content, there's going to be a new full-text journal available to search from this month too.
 
Click on the links in the Contents section on the right to jump to the article you're interested in, or just click here to be taken to the What's New landing page.
 
As always, should you have any questions or comments please contact our Customer Training and Support Team on 0800 028 2200 or email customer.service@westlaw.co.uk.
 
Best wishes,

The Westlaw UK Team
