KeyRules Alert: If your KeyRules document changes, we'll let you know.

If the central statute or other authority in your case were ruled invalid, you'd want to hear about it immediately. (And not from the judge.)

The same goes for a KeyRules document: What if your firm were relying on a KeyRules document to help prepare a pleading, motion, or other filing, and one of the rules cited in the KeyRules document suddenly got superseded?

KeyRules Alert—released on Westlaw last month—is the solution.

KeyRules Alert notifies you automatically when the KeyRules document changes. You don't need to create a separate alert entry for every citation in the KeyRules document-one entry takes care of everything.

Just click Notify me of rules update at the top of a KeyRules document, complete the KeyRules Alert: Create Entry page, and click Save. (You can also access KeyRules Alert through the Alert Center.) Whenever there's a change in the law that necessitates a change in the KeyRules document, you are notified via e-mail automatically. KeyRules Alert even identifies the specific section of the KeyRules document that changed.

There is no charge for creating a KeyRules Alert entry, nor is there a charge for running the entry if the KeyRules document is not updated. A $6 charge is incurred only if KeyRules Alert notifies you of an update to a KeyRules document.
