Urgent Legal Research? Use WestlawNext on Your Smartphone
Imagine that you're in the middle of a settlement conference or at a court hearing. Suddenly, a brilliant idea strikes. It can make or break your case.

Enter WestlawNext Mobile. Now you can do legal research anywhere.
WestlawNext Mobile works on the iPhone, BlackBerry, Palm or Android. It requires no app, and no special maneuvering on your part. Just pull up the phone's browser and navigate to the usual site.
Once there, you'll be redirected to a mobile-friendly site. Input your username and password to access a list of top tools and content. Start researching.
Streamlined and easy to use, WestlawNext Mobile allows you to:

In fact, tablet users might want to check out the recently released WestlawNext iPad app. The app boasts a specially designed interface and touch-screen navigation.
Between the iPad app and WestlawNext Mobile, you'll never be unprepared again.
