17Westlaw Introduces "KeyRules"

KeyRules, a new tool just introduced by Westlaw, allows users to locate all applicable court rules in a jurisdiction using a single search.  According to West's recent press release, after running a single search, "KeyRules gathers all applicable rules governing common federal and state court procedures and condenses them in a single easy-to-read document" with links to the cited rules.  KeyRules is available in various locations on Westlaw, including the tabbed Litigation and State Litigation pages and the relevant state jurisdictional pages.  Note, however, that KeyRules is currently only available for all federal district courts, the Court of Federal Claims, and select state and local courts in California, Florida, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio and Texas.  Click here to see the full press release.
