Researching a legal topic: current awareness

The law changes constantly as new cases are heard, and new legislation comes into force. To help you keep up to date with recent developments, Westlaw UK and Lexis Library include current awareness services. Westlaw UK incorporates myWestlaw UK, a personalisation service to allow you to set up current awareness alerts, save documents to folders and track your research.

Current Law Monthly Digest, available in the LAWS sequence in Western Bank Library, is also useful for current awareness.
