Law360 now available in Lexis Advance

The popular legal news service Law360 is now available to faculty and students in Lexis Advance.* Law360 publishes breaking news and analysis with a focus on major litigation across more than 35 practice areas. This content is read by well over 100,000 law firm and business professionals, including litigators, corporate counsel, and transactional attorneys. Law360 content is available in the Legal News section and also searchable as a source within Lexis Advance. The quickest way to get to the Law360 content is using the newly added “word wheel,” which allows you to search for the name of a specific source (e.g., a treatise or law journal) in the main search box. No more having to click “Browse Sources” if you want to search a particular source!

Other recent enhancements to Lexis Advance include Citing Decisions Grid, a visual tool available in the Shepard’s report, which allows users to evaluate precedential value and spot splits of authority, and Lexis Practice Advisor, a new transactional law research tool accessible within the red Research tab. Lexis Advance has also made a number of changes to its search experience, including refining its search algorithm and doing away with the persistent filters that carried over from earlier sessions. Visit the Lexis Advance Product page to learn about all the new enhancements (scroll down and click New Enhancements tab). 

*Unfortunately, the links to Law360 from the Top News wheel that appears when you first log into Lexis Advance do not work. This content is available in the Legal News section of Lexis Advance, but not on the separate Law360 platform. We agree it’s confusing.
