New York Primary Law

The New York Select core is made up of the

state’s primary law with all the benefits of

Westlaw®, such as Key Numbers, KeyCite®,

and more. The Westlaw Select core provides

essential resources at an economical,

predictable rate. With unlimited access to

your state’s caselaw, statutes, administrative

codes, AG Opinions, and law reviews and

journals, you’ll be able to find what you need

with the convenience of an easy, one-stop

research approach.

Full-Text Plus™ editorialenhancements

West Key Number System

The West Key Number System® classifies

American law into more than 400 topics –

and 100,000 subtopics – relating to persons,

property, contracts, torts, crimes, remedies,

and government, accelerating your research

by directing you to specific points of law.

Case Synopses and Headnotes

West case synopses and headnotes

summarize the facts, issues, procedural

history, holdings and disposition of a decision

– information that might otherwise be

scattered throughout the opinion.

Synopses and headnotes contain terms that

may not have been used by the authoring

judge, including terms of art and words that

describe legally significant relationships

among parties (e.g., landlord and tenant,

husband and wife). As a result, a Westlaw

search can retrieve relevant cases that an

opinion-only search might miss.

Annotated statutes

• Statutory Credits show you citations

to session laws from which a statute

was derived

• Historical and Statutory Notes reveal the

history of a statute that may be significant

in its construction and application

• Cross-References/Library References

lead you to relevant Key Numbers and to

law reviews, treatises, and administrative

code provisions

• Notes of Decisions provide quick summaries

of cases interpreting or applying the statute

in question

KeyCite citation research service

KeyCite is the easy-to-use, powerful citator

that covers more than 4 million reported

cases, 20 million headnotes, 1 million

unpublished decisions, USCA®, statutes for

all 50 states and CFR.

This citator service verifies whether cases,

statutes, administrative decisions and

regulations remain good law. In addition,

KeyCite links to citing cases, administrative

decisions, more than 700 law reviews and

other analytical sources such as ALR®,

Am Jur® and Wright & Miller.*

Exclusive westlaw.com features

When you access this library on the Web via

westlaw.com®, you can take advantage of

these and many other timesaving features.

KeySearch

Powered by the West Key Number System,

KeySearch® lets you formulate searches using

advanced research tools without inputting

search terms.

Most Cited Cases

Most Cited Cases® retrieves a list of cases

most often cited for a particular point of law,

which is identified by its Topic and Key

Number. Researchers can customize results

by selecting a jurisdiction, topic, or date and

adding search terms.

Add-ons for your WestlawSelect core

Optional modules let you tailor Westlaw

Select to your needs. Modules include

legal references such as ALR and Am Jur,

law from other jurisdictions, news and

business information, and more. You can

also add another single state to your own

core package.

* Linking may involve additional charges based on

Westlaw plan inclusion. Please check your plan for your

specific charges.

Mertens & Casey Tax contains two

indispensable resources that analyze federal

income tax law and explain the entire

structure of the federal tax system.

Mertens Law of Federal Income Taxation

This database contains the full text of The

Law of Federal Income Taxation: Treatise and

Rulings by Jacob Mertens Jr., which courts

have cited more often than all other tax

publications combined. This 47-volume

publication is a tax practice tool of

unprecedented value.

Unlike other tax services, which merely report

what happened, Mertens provides detailed,

in-depth analysis of all aspects of the law of

federal income taxation. It goes beyond the

Internal Revenue Code to explain Congress’

intent in drafting the IRC, what the IRC means

and how the Internal Revenue Service

interprets it.

Mertens provides you with:

• Incisive commentary assuring you

direct access to the most current

and accurate information

• Monthly updates reflecting the latest

legislative changes

• In-depth discussion and expert analysis

that guides you when no easy, clear-cut

option is apparent

• Extensive coverage of estates and revocable

and controlled trusts (Chapters 36-37)

Look to Mertens for:
