Search for databases using descriptive terms
To identify and access a database fitting a certain description, type the description (e.g., new jersey corporate forms) in the Search for a database text box in the left frame of the Westlaw Directory page and click Go. A list of the databases most closely matching your description is displayed.
In the alternative, you can type a word or phrase in the Search the Westlaw Directory text box in the right frame of the Westlaw Directory page and click Search. For a more precise search, select a subdirectory, e.g., Forms or Taxation, before running the search. [Note: To use this feature, the Westlaw Directory must be in Web view. Click Change Directory Layout in the left frame, choose Web View from the Westlaw Directory drop-down list, and click Save Changes.]
Use the Find a Database wizard
