GALILEO is conducting a trial for Westlaw, a comprehensive online legal research service that can be accessed from any desktop or laptop computer, tablet, or smartphone. The Westlaw database includes primary and secondary legal sources including state and federal statutes, codes, and case law, as well as the American Jurisprudence legal encyclopedia, and law reviews.
During the month of February, Clayton State users can access* Westlaw through the links in this post or the Westlaw Database Trial trial button on the library home page.

*Off-campus users will need to enter the current GALILEO password.
