Check out two new helpful Westlaw Features: Graphical Statutes and RegulationsPlus.

Westlaw Graphical Statutes
Westlaw now features an easy-to-read display of a statute's history that will help researchers, including law students, more easily see a statutes past, present and proposed changes.

The Graphical Statutes display shows:

• prior, current and future versions of statutes
• links to enacting and amending public laws
• relevant legislative history materials, such as bill drafts, reports, journals and the Congressional Record
• cases that negatively affect a statute
• legislation that has been enacted but not yet codified
• future text of a statute not yet in effect

Graphical Statutes is available for the United States Code Annotated® and selected state jurisdictions.

RegulationsPlus
With RegulationsPlus, Westlaw customers can search all sections of the Code of Federal Regulations®, as well as past versions, amendments, pending changes and citing court documents. In addition, RegulationsPlus features Thomson West's exclusive editorially created federal case law summaries, historical Federal Register® content, agency publications and other related analyses.

Just use the regular CFR database and links to the RegulationsPlus features appear in the right hand window.

Susan's Note: Above adapted from Westlaw promotional material but I did go check these new features and they are pretty interesting (especially, the RegulationsPlus feature).
