Westlaw Tab

The Entities notebooks have a Westlaw tab that links to various Westlaw person and company databases. To access this feature, your Law Manager Administrator will need to set up a Westlaw password for you. Below is an illustration of the contents of the Westlaw tab:

There are two fields in this tab. The Westlaw Database field contains the name of a Westlaw database to search, and the Description field contains a description of the Westlaw database. The View button to the left of these fields enables you to launch into the database to find information about the person or company entity.
