Westlaw recently advised its academic accounts that on July 1, 2014, Westlaw Classic will no longer be available. Individuals attempting to connect to Westlaw Classic should now see the following message upon logging in:
"The move is on....
As of Tuesday, July 01, 2014, WestlawNext will be your research platform and Westlaw Classic will no longer be accessible for your account. We trust you will find WestlawNext a more powerful and efficient platform for your research."
When WestlawNext was introduced several years ago, Westlaw indicated
that the Westlaw Classic platform would not remain available
indefinitely. Accordingly, WestlawNext has been emphasized in Legal
Research instruction. The Law Library staff is available to students, faculty, and staff who would like further training or instruction in utilizing WestlawNext for research or current awareness. We are also glad to coordinate training from the Law School's Westlaw representative. Please do not hesitate to contact a member of the Law Library staff if you would like further assistance.
The Law Library would also like to make our students, faculty, and staff aware of new content available through WestlawNext, called Practical Law (TM). Practical Law is a multi-topic resource providing practice-related materials edited by teams of expert attorneys in their field. Materials include practice notes and checklists, standard documents and clauses, current awareness updates, and tools to compare laws across jurisdictions. Currently, thirteen major practice areas are included. If you have any questions regarding Practical Law, please ask a member of the Law Library staff.
