WestlawNext Comes to Chicago-Kent

What is WestlawNext?

On October 15, a revolution in legal research will go live for all Chicago-Kent students – WestlawNext will debut on your academic passwords.  It may not be more powerful than a speeding bullet, but it certainly will change the way most of us research, and the ways in which we incorporate our research into our written work.

WestlawNext debuted to lawyers in January, so some of you may have already encountered it where you work.  If you have not, the odds are that you will soon meet it.  We want you to be prepared, to be able to use WestlawNext both in your work here at C-K and also in your work as law clerks and lawyers.  So we’ve scheduled training sessions, and we urge each of you to attend at least the basic “Intro” session.  First-year students will have WestlawNext training in their Legal Writing classes later in the semester, so the training sessions listed below are intended for upper-class students.
