Westlaw Legal Calendaring Rules combines the technology expertise of Elite Enterprise with the extensive legal content expertise and resources of West to offer a significantly improved court rules solution. With an expanded team dedicated to writing and researching court rules, clients can expect more rules sets, the most technologically advanced solution available, and improved support services.

More Access to More Content

Westlaw Rules currently maintains over 1,000 rules sets. With hundreds more to be added every year, Westlaw Rules will continue to expand its current coverage of jurisdictions – including federal, state, appellate, and bankruptcy – for hundreds of venues. Specialized rules sets for family law, probate, criminal law, and intellectual property prosecution, both foreign and domestic, will also be expanded.

Increased Resources to Ensure Quality Content and Improved Access to Support Services

A newly expanded team of full-time attorneys and staff is dedicated to rules automation and acquisition. Together these groups ensure that rules are based directly upon the rules established by courts and legislatures for the most accurate and reliable rules possible.

Westlaw Rules attorneys and staff are available to assist you with questions relating to authorities, calculations, wording of rules and, in some cases, interpretation of rules. Technical questions, such as how to download court rules updates, are handled directly by Thomson Elite Support professionals.
