A Message From Thomson Reuters Westlaw Edge
Free Webinar Gives an In-Depth Look at Westlaw Edge
Are you curious about how artificial intelligence (AI) can help your firm do its best work more efficiently and effectively, all while giving you a valuable competitive edge? Then set aside some time to attend the free webinar, “An In-Depth Look at Westlaw Edge: The most intelligent legal research platform ever.”
Some of the minds behind Westlaw Edge have been traveling nationwide to demonstrate the powerful results of combining best-in-class technology with editorial leadership. If you haven’t had a chance to attend any of these in-person presentations, then make it a point to register for and attend their free webinar at noon, CT, Wednesday, September 19th for an in-depth look at Westlaw Edge.
You’ll find out how Westlaw Edge, powered by state-of-the-art AI, can help you outperform the opposition. Consider the words of Kenny Ramirez, an associate with Girardi|Keese, one of the nation’s leading litigation firms and an early adopter of Westlaw Edge.
“Westlaw Edge has already changed how we practice law. It helps us cover more bases and more information, and certainly imparts greater confidence in the courtroom,” he explains. “You know you’re able to cover more than your opposition.”
Some of the ways Westlaw Edge achieves this is by providing the tools to:
- Attain complete, thorough answers more efficiently.The new search functionality of WestSearch Plus, goes beyond simply returning documents in a results list and now examines the contents of documents to return the most responsive text, and most relevant underlying authority, to answer your specific question. This means you can get an answer without having to peruse pages of results. If you want more detail, the responsive answer will link to underlying authority so you can dig more deeply.
“The search function has improved tremendously,” says William Donovan, an attorney with Girardi|Keese. “So has the ability to get answers quickly, which is especially useful to new lawyers.” - Efficiently create your best litigation strategy. Litigation Analytics gives data-driven insight into judges, courts, attorneys, law firms, motions and case types. In seconds, the AI of Litigation Analytics can provide colorful graphs and charts with details like:
- How a judge has ruled on similar cases
- The average time to trial
- If opposing counsel is likely to settle
- What motion strategy will be most effective
- The best jurisdiction to pursue the matter, and more
“Litigation Analytics helps me build strategy faster,” says Alexandra Steele, a Girardi|Keese attorney. “Before, it would have taken me hours to find the same kind of information.” - Know you’re citing good law. The AI of KeyCite Overruling Risk helps you quickly identify when a point of law has been implicitly undermined. While a conventional citator only flags law that’s been explicitly overturned, only Westlaw Edge will identify when a point of law in a case has been implicitly undermined based on its reliance on an overruled or otherwise invalid prior decision. This saves attorneys valuable time manually reviewing each case to determine if it cites an overruled point of law.
- Make important, yet mundane tasks, painless. One of those tasks is comparing statutes. Now, instead of spending hours poring over legal text and noting how law has evolved, Statutes Compare accomplishes this task in a single click.
“Statutes Compare saves so much time and headaches,” notes Steele. “When you’re looking at statutes side by side, the differences pop out without having to underline or highlight. To have that already drawn out for you is amazing.”
Discover all the ways Westlaw Edge can make your work easier, take your practice to the next level, and set yourself up for success. Register for the free webinar, An In-Depth Look at Westlaw Edge: The most intelligent legal research platform ever, today.
