Product Review of Westlaw UK
Jinfo Report
14th September 2015
Abstract
Westlaw UK is one of the legal and business products in the Thomson Reuters stable. Designed for fee-earning lawyers just as much as library and information professionals, it aims to be a one-stop-shop, pulling together a number of primary and secondary legal resources UK-wide.
This review:
- Gives a detailed description of its comprehensive coverage of primary and secondary resources including case law reports, full text journals, EU information news and Insight articles and how it encompasses consolidated UK-wide legislation.
- Scrutinises the interface and looks at options for creating filters and alerts.
- Examines how Westlaw UK adds value to key content groups with the use of status icons attached to case titles and legislation, and other useful tools.
- Considers development, competitors and future plans.
- Describes the Westlaw UK Web App, its mobile-friendly version, main competitor LexisLibrary, and plans to integrate content from Lawtel and Practical Law.
- Examines pricing, help, customer support and training, and considers which elements could be improved.
