Thomson Reuters has optimized its new legal research system, WestlawNext, specifically for iPad users. The iPad offers exciting capabilities for the lawyer on the go – greater portability than a laptop and a large, high-resolution Multi-Touch display that makes it far more functional for legal research than a smartphone. The new iPad app is available at the App Store free of charge to all current subscribers of WestlawNext.

Just like WestlawNext and WestlawNext Mobile, the intuitive design of the WestlawNext iPad app makes it easy to navigate the comprehensive content and use the most advanced legal research features, including WestSearch – the proprietary search engine that leverages over 100 years of editorial assets to provide more inclusive, better-ranked results. “When we talk with lawyers, most say they wouldn’t do more than five minutes of research on their smartphone,” said Andy Martens, senior vice president of New Product Development for Thomson Reuters, Legal. “The iPad is a device where we can see attorneys comfortably doing an hour or more of comprehensive research.”
According to Jarvis, research shows that attorneys are using the BlackBerry, the iPhone, Android devices, the Kindle, and now the iPad in growing numbers. “Our approach is to make sure customers can access what they need on any Web-enabled device,” he said.
