Attorney Legal Services ### "Best Legal Research Database" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 May 4, 2022 Pros Westlaw Edge is intuitive to use and has a ton of resources in addition to cases Cons The term search within cases after searching keywords does not seem to change the search results Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site. All submitted reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. Alec Anton S. Lawyer Law Practice ### "An essential service for legal professionals." 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 10/10 March 20, 2022 I trialed Westlaw and Lexis Nexis each for two weeks when I was setting up my law firm. I didn't have much experience with either and to be honest one of the above is better than none. I found Westlaw to offer a really simple and powerful research tool, all it takes is a few well thought out keywords and you have access to everything at your fingertips - legislation, cases, practice notes, resources etc. I have become so used to this service I would hate to think how I'd cope without it. Pros Access to "New Westlaw" is fantastic and feels like a special "Google" for lawyers. Cons I find the searching parameters are a little over the top. Sometimes it's hard to narrow down what you are looking for with so many results. Reasons for choosing Westlaw Edge Price and user interface.

DD Delaney D. Adoption Paralegal Legal Services ### "Complex and Detailed" 4.0 Overall Rating 4.0 4.0 Ease of Use 3.0 3.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 3.0 3.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 January 11, 2022 Westlaw is great for research-heavy jobs and schooling, but not as great for searching for general information or less in-depth topics. Pros Westlaw offers a great range of filters for search and research, and they have a folder system that is useful for big projects. It is easy to stay organized, and good history tracking to go back to various previous tabs. Cons This is difficult to learn, and can be extremely confusing to those used to Lexis or MyCase. You have to use different search terms, different layouts of collections/journals, and there is not a reward system in the use which is sad. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. JJ Jessica J. Paralegal Legal Services ### "Great Product for Work Use" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 December 22, 2021 Pros This is the product I was taught while attending paralegal school. Not much has changes which makes it easy to follow along and do research. Cons While doing the people search sometimes, I have issues locating a person when I know the address/name/DOB are all correct. Review source Non-incentivized review: any software user can leave a review for any product listed on our site. All submitted reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. EM Ed M. Lawyer Law Practice ### "Westlaw User" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 4.0 4.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 5.0 5.0 Likelihood to Recommend 6/10 November 11, 2021 The program addresses all legal research needs, and the costumer support is excellent. Pros Top notch research tool and excellent customer support. Cons Learning how to use all the available features is challenging, and the software is very expensive. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. AU Anonymous User Associate Attorney Law Practice ### "Great Legal Research Program" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 5.0 5.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 8/10 April 26, 2021 I frequently need to conduct legal research as part of my job, and Westlaw Edge really helps make that easier. I am very satisfied with the way it works. Pros This is a very user friendly software that enables me to easily research legal issues for my job. It is a lot more intuitive and straightforward than the original Westlaw site, and even more so than "Westlaw Next" (which I believe is now called Westlaw Classic). There is a notification for each case whether there is any negative treatment, and clicking the flag will link to all cases mentioning the current case, with an analysis of how in-depth the current case was discussed. Cons There are so many features in it that I'm sure I'm not using it to the fullest potential. There is definitely training needed to be able to take full advantage of this software. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort. All incentivized reviews are subject to our verification process prior to publication. RG Ryan G. Associate Law Practice ### "Essential for legal research" 5.0 Overall Rating 5.0 5.0 Ease of Use 5.0 5.0 Features 4.0 4.0 Customer Service 0.0 0.0 Likelihood to Recommend 9/10 April 1, 2021 Pros This is the best legal research platform by far -- it has search and organization functionality for those who need it, but doesn't bog the platform down with unnecessary fluff. The text is always front and center. Cons Sometimes the software struggles to maintain multiple tabs correctly. Review source Incentivized review: software users are invited to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive for their time and effort.
