Some helpful hints:

Look for the Westlaw Patron Access Terminal guide displayed near the library catalogs behind the staircase. It contains the basics of Westlaw research.

It is simplest to use the natural language searching, but you can narrow and target your results by using Terms And Connectors (Boolean) searching.

If you are unsure of where to start, New York Jurisprudence is a legal encyclopedia and an excellent starting point. Click on its Table of Contents to get a list of subjects.

Please feel free to seek help from the Reference staff.
