Automatic Display of KeyCite Flags on Cases and Briefs

This tip and more can be found here! https://legal.thomsonreuters.com/en/products/westlaw-edge/westlaw-edgeucation

  • Checking your sources for negative treatment just got easier – KeyCite flags now appear inline on cases and briefs available on Westlaw Edge! These flags make it easier than ever to ensure that the authorities you rely upon are also relying upon good law.

  • These flags are turned on automatically and you will see them the next time you log in to Westlaw Edge. However, you do also have the option to turn them off if desired.

  • Using these inline KeyCite flags will save you the time and effort of manually pulling up all of the authorities cited within your case or brief. You can quickly and easily gain confidence that the law you are relying upon is still valid!

There are no holiday closures in October.

We'll be closed in November for Veteran's Day, 11/10 and for Thanksgiving, 11/23 & 11/24

 

Hours:

Ft Pierce open Mondays through Thursdays 9-5 and Fridays 9-4:30

PSL open Wednesdays 10-2
