SOURCES TO LEXIS & WESTLAW*

(FOR COURT DOCUMENTS AND LEGAL MEMORANDA) FALL 2016

*Some of these citations are Bluebook examples, but most are citations found through keyword searches of journal articles in Westlaw > Secondary Sources > Law Reviews & Journals. A research librarian chose which of the journal citations seemed "most accurate" and listed one or two of them under "Journal examples" below. Although almost all "Journal examples" cite to Westlaw, substitute the word "Lexis" or "LexisNexis" or "Lexis Advance" when citing secondary sources to that database. (All examples have been converted to citations for Court Documents and Legal Memoranda.)
