InfoBrief: WestlawNext lunch program on Monday

Please join us this Monday, March 1, at noon for a preview of WestlawNext.  Our Westlaw account manager, Mike Winn, will be here to show us what is coming with the new Westlaw.  You will also receive a password so you can work in the new system, months before law students will have it (next fall, at the earliest).  Lunch will be served, so please RSVP to me by this Thursday, February 25.

 

Many blog posts, articles, etc. have been written about WestlawNext.  Here are a few that can give you the latest:
