You may notice a new addition to your law school Westlaw page. The page contains a search box for Westlaw WebPlus, which sorts Internet search results by legal relevance. You can search for legal news, information on a legal issue or information on a company, person, government entity or organization. Results can be broken down into smaller categories, by selecting "filter results by subject". There are also filters for domain name and file format.
