Award-Winning Westlaw Research Tutors

Westlaw is a handy legal research tool. It is one of the most popular online research tools used by lawyers and paralegals in the office. There are more than forty thousand databases of state statutes, federal statutes, and case law that makeup Westlaw. Whether you are just beginning and need to start from the basics, looking for help with advanced features, or looking to become Westlaw certified, Varsity Tutors can help you find a tutor to help you gain more knowledge of it.

College Westlaw research tutoring covers topics such as:

• Keyword searches
• West Key number system
• Special features
• Related software and websites

A skilled Westlaw research tutor can help you on an individual basis. Every student learns differently and your tutor can use many teaching methods to get the information across effectively. If you prefer a hands-on method, your tutor can assign different scenarios and have you find the case law or statute that they have in mind for that specific scenario. If you are a visual person, your tutor may assign texts or create charts and photos that explain how to use the search feature. Additionally, Westlaw research tutoring is a great way to have your questions answered. There are online tutorials on certain Westlaw features, but you cannot get your questions answered through a tutorial. Perhaps you are wondering how to get to KeyCite to check your case citation for a legal brief, you can ask your tutor, and they can direct you there immediately.
