Spring Into Summer Success with W&L Law Library and OCS 2025

Westlaw and Multi-Jurisdictional Research

Presented by Prof. Ashley Evans and Julie Chen, Thomson Reuters Account Manager (jingchi.chen@thomsonreuters.com)

A very common summer research task in firms, courts, and working for professors as RAs is to compare statutory law or regulations across multiple or often all state jurisdictions. Luckily, several platforms offer powerful tools to help save you time and effort in the process. Prof. Evans discusses some of these important resources for compiling multi-jurisdictional surveys in a 15-minute presentation.

Julie Chen also presents on Westlaw’s AI-enhanced tools, cost-effective research tips, and common summer associate projects like drafting and multi-jurisdictional surveys and research.
