Lexis Advance Features
Legal Issue Trail
This unique function allows users to trace legal precedent by selecting a specific point of law within a controlling case, ensuring subsequent citations relate precisely to that issue. This eliminates ambiguity when determining authority relevance, significantly reducing time wasted on manual verification.
Shepard’s Citations
Shepard's remains the gold standard for citation verification, providing instant validation of legal authority and history. It automatically checks for negative treatment, ensures reliance on the best authority, and surfaces citing references, providing an essential layer of trustworthiness to legal arguments.

Users can set up alerts to receive notifications about new or updated documents that match specific search queries. This allows for proactive monitoring of legal developments, legislation, or case law relevant to ongoing matters. Alerts can be managed and paused from the dedicated alerts page for efficiency.
Browsing
The browsing function allows users to quickly navigate content by sources, topics, or jurisdiction. Users can view sources alphabetically or by publisher and easily access the Table of Contents (TOC) for documents. This structured hierarchy helps pinpoint specific legal topics and resources.

The platform records a comprehensive search history, allowing users to quickly resume previous research and easily track steps. A visual research map can also provide a graphical depiction of prior research, helping users quickly validate the completeness of search results and term patterns.

“valuable legal research companion”
Pros
Lexis Advance gives me access to cases and opinions that I cannot find on Westlaw which makes it an essential companion to use alongside Westlaw.
Cons
That said the interface isn't as clean or as user-friendly as Westlaw and the tools for narrowing search results aren't as useful as the ones Westlaw provides.
