WHAT IS THE WEST KM ADVANTAGE FOR LITIGATORS?
WestlawNext advantage
Only West km delivers relevant WestlawNext information on your litigation matter. You can search what you like (internal documents, WestlawNext, or both) and how you like (by key word, Terms and Connectors, or easy templates), and link to briefs, ALR, treatises, practice guides, litigation newsletters, law reviews, pleadings, motions and memoranda, and more.
West km processes your information the same way as all other legal content that comes into WestlawNext. Our profile extraction engine tags and extracts key legal profile data. More terms, more hits, more relevant results.
KeySearch advantage
Only West km automatically classifies your internal litigation documents by our KeySearch taxonomy, the master classification system of U.S. law, for even greater search accuracy.
KeyCite advantage
You can easily verify whether the citations in your internal documents are still good law.
- KeyCite red and yellow flags reveal negative history at a glance
- BriefTools is included with our West km for Litigation subscription
- BriefTools embeds citation links and realtime KeyCite status flags in your documents
- Km icons alert you to other internal documents that cite the same authority
