A LIST WITH MUSCLE
The result list helps you determine which documents are worth reading—before you read them.
A Westlaw® search typically brings you two things of value:
- retrieved documents
- a result list of the retrieved documents
Yes, the result list itself is valuable. That's because a result list helps you browse your search result (i.e., you can view selected items rather than viewing the documents in order) and because it can be printed or saved for use in future research sessions.
Even better, in most databases on Westlaw, the result list shows not just the bare-bones citation components but also the text surrounding your search terms. (To hide the terms and surrounding text in your result list, use the Result Options drop-down list in the lower right corner of the result list or on the Result List tab next to a displayed document.)
As a result, you can tell at a glance which documents are worth your time.
How to print or save a result list
You can download your result list; save it on Westlaw; or deliver it to a printer, fax machine, or e-mail address. Here's an easy way to download, deliver, or save your
result list:
- Click the appropriate delivery icon in the upper-right corner of the result list.
- In the dialog box that is displayed, select Result List (All).
- Click Print, Save, or Send, depending on the delivery icon you selected.
