About the Judicial Branch Law
Library Services Unit’s Online Legal Research Services
The Judicial Branch Law Library Services Unit offers access to a wide range
of online legal research services and resources. These services are
available to all law library patrons within our facilities. This
training session will introduce you to three of these services:
LoislawConnect, Lexis / Shepard’s, and WestlawNext. This training
session will offer a brief overview of the three services. For each
service, we will look at the content of the database; how to retrieve a
known document; how to construct and execute a search; how to navigate
the database; how to print, copy, and email documents; and other
specific features.
