Find a lawyer
Need to contact a peer who worked a similar case? Can't find the fax number of a colleague at another office? Looking for the number of that foxy public defender you bumped into last Tuesday? The West Legal Directory provides you with the name and Westlaw database profile of most attorneys. From the main menu once again, select Find a Lawyer. You'll be asked to enter your search criteria. A last name and a state are the only required fields. Tap Go, and you'll get your search results, as shown in Figure C.

Mobile lawyer
As the ability to go mobile becomes a reality for many lawyers, they're embracing the newfound freedoms associated with it. While riding in a cab on the way to the courthouse, you now have the ability to review and access case law citations in a law clerk's memo with just a tap. While waiting for a meeting with a client to begin, you have the ability to obtain KeyCite results for unfamiliar cases cited by opposing counsel during a negotiation session. Best of all, what was once down time now can be turned into billable hours. These scenarios are examples of the mobile freedom made possible by the innovations of legal technology companies like West Group.
