West km for Litigation

Start with West km Foundation Services software and add West km for Litigation to strengthen your litigation work. At the heart of West km for Litigation is the ability to categorize and search for your organization's internal documents using West's KeySearch taxonomy, find your documents by cited reference using KeyCite technology, and search for your documents using Westlaw search methods.

West km for Litigation automatically classifies your internal documents into the KeySearch taxonomy - powered by the West Key Number System - giving you more precise results when you search for material on a particular legal topic. Add a customized text query along with each KeySearch category and get even more precise results. KeySearch, in combination with full-text searching, is the most advanced set of research tools available for legal practitioners.
