KeyCite Alert results can be delivered whenever and wherever you want, including e-mail, fax, and printer or wireless devices.  Saving you time and keeping you on top of breaking developments that may affect your practice.
Why KeyCite® Alert from WestlaweCARSWELL?
KeyCite Alert relies on the citator content, for which our editorial staff scans every decision, to identify correct case and statute references and to make sure that different but similarly named cases and statutes are correctly distinguished from one another.  This editorial work ensures that researchers find all references and only correct references. Using KeyCite Alert therefore ensures that no results are missed and that no time is wasted tracking down false hits.
How does it work?
When you create a KeyCite Alert entry, you specify how frequently your citation should be checked, eg., weekly, biweekly, or monthly.  To create, define and modify a KeyCite Alert entry: ·     Create an entry from a KeyCite Result or a Displayed document ·     Access and create an entry from any westlawecarswell.com page ·     Restrict citing references for your KeyCite Alert entry, to limit the results delivered ·    Save your KeyCite Alert entries in the directory, so you can modify and delete them as you wish
