Westlaw Enhancements & Changes Now Live!

You will notice that the changes we advised you of previously are now live. If you do not yet see the new features you may need to log off your current session and log back in.

Your access to content, tab set up, current WestClips, research trail & preferences have not been affected in any way by these changes.  

Westlaw International

The majority of Westlaw’s 40,000+ databases are international legal material with a small offering of local Australian content including case law and news. Legal Online remains the primary service for Thomson Reuters Australian legal content. As a result you will notice the Westlaw service has been renamed Westlaw International to better reflect that content focus.

Logging In

For the majority of users the login process will not have changed.

  • IP Fixed users: no change required.
  • Username & Password users:
    • If you log in to Westlaw via www.thomsonreuters.com.au your drop down option in the subscriber login has changed from Westlaw to Westlaw International.
    • If you logged in to Westlaw via www.westlaw.com.au  this site has been redirected to www.thomsonreuters.com.au You can now select Westlaw International from the subscriber login drop down and enter your username, password and client id as normal.

New Features

We have also added some great new features, including:

  • KeyCite Alert: automatically monitors the status of your cases, statutes, administrative decisions, and regulations and sends you updates when their KeyCite results change
  • Find & Print: find and print multiple citations at once
  • New Databases list: displays databases that have been added to Westlaw in the last 30 days
  • Court Docs: combines briefs, pleadings, motions, memoranda, eforms, dockets, and expert testimony in one place, with powerful search enablers.

All functionality is subject to standard subscription based warnings. You will be warned or blocked (based on your settings) if the new functionality takes you outside of your current subscription.
