Tap into the world’s most preferred legal research service wherever you go! The Westlaw app – available for iPad and iPhone – has been recognized as the most awarded legal research app by industry professionals. It has received accolades from reputable sources such as The National Law Journal, New York Law Journal, and the Best of the Midwest. With the Westlaw mobile app, you have the power and convenience of Westlaw's research capabilities at your fingertips, allowing you to continue your research seamlessly from one device to another, whether you are in the office or on the go.

According to Jeff Richardson, a legal expert from iPhone J.D. in ABA Journal, "The Westlaw app is well-designed and user-friendly, which makes it convenient for conducting legal research outside of the office, such as in court. It's so good that I even use it in my office, opting to do my legal research on my iPad while referring to my brief on my computer."

The Westlaw app provides access to familiar research features such as WestSearch, KeyCite, Search Filters, Folders, History, Notes, and Highlighting. These features have been redesigned specifically for the iPad and iPhone, ensuring an optimized user experience.
