Save the Date: Westlaw Classic Will Be Retired on August 21, 2015

West has announced Westlaw Classic's retirement date: August 21, 2015. Read more on the Legal Solutions blog and download the free user guide "Comparing Westlaw Classic to WestlawNext," to help you make the transition.

Additionally, the Law Library offers a variety of WestlawNext training opportunities. The next class, WestlawNext Refresher, will be held on December 10 from 10:30-11:30* a.m. in Room 107 of the Law Library. There will be additional classes scheduled in March and June as part of our quarterly Westlaw training series, and we will probably add additional sessions to help patrons make the transition. If you would like to meet with our Account Manager for individual training, she generally comes to Carson City monthly, each second Wednesday.  Call (775-684-1640) or email (reference at nvcourts dot nv dot gov) to schedule an appointment or to sign up for a webinar.
